I have the slightly smaller version of this backhoe on my tractor and have done a few things to make removing/installing easier. 1 - blocks under the main pin/pivot and under the sub frame so it cant settle when in storage. Before doing this the hydraulics would settle and the subframe would end up sticking up in the air preventing you from backing over it to reinstall. 2 - 4ft hydraulic hose extensions hang in my barn next to the backhoe incase you cant get the tractor backed over the subframe to install. 3 - flat faced connect under pessure hose connections on all my tractor attachments 4 - when not connected to the tractor i have hose connections attached to the bachkhoe to connect the hoses to. These connections just have a 1/4 turn ball valve on them to releave any pressue that builds up in storage. The problem i found is that the return hose from the backhoe to the tractor on mine has a one way valve inside the backhoe. This ment that presure would build up in that hose with no where to go and would be to much for even the connect under pressure hose ends. By storring the hoses connected to my storage connections all i have to do it open the ball valve for a split secound and it released any pressure. 5 - for storage leave the backhoe in a spot with an easy reference to line the tractor back up. Mine sits in the barn next to a wall, just line the tractor up straight with the wall at the distance that i remember and you will be almost perfectly lined up with the backhoe. With these easy modifications i can typically hook up to the backhoe without any issues. I like the design of these backhoes once i got use to it.
New mic worked well, no wind noise, and could hear clearly. Good demonstration as well, I've always been hesitant to add a backhoe due to overthinking the removal process.
Thanks for the feedback. I think it makes the filming better if I can talk while I’m moving around and actually on the machine Probably 15 minute process and a little bit of a hassle, but not terrible
The backhoe (46) on my 2010 Deere 2520 (26.6 HP) is the same type of mount as this one. It has always been a royal pain....but I've learned that to make it easier, parking it on solid and level ground makes a huge difference. It also helps to block it up close to mounting height...but make sure the pins are in the boom. The bucket sags and can mess things up sometimes...so the more you can make things rigid, when you leave it, the better. Also....a long handle prybar....such as a tamping bar, really helps sometimes.
Brock, I think once you get used to talking on and off the backhoe you will find that it’s not that bad. You are just used to your John Deere and the TYM is a little different. Great video. You learned something and so did I. Thanks
I have a Kioti and the backhoe is very similar. It takes me about two minutes to remove or install. It takes practice, it gets easier. You did great for the first time. The people that seem to have the most problems are the ones that rarely remove them. I’m like you. I have lots of other attachments to use.
Very interesting, that long sub-frame makes the angles in 3 dimensions need to be very precise compared to other brands, but putting the BH on a pallet on wheels on concrete, lets you move it manually and greatly simplifies the process.. I find with experience, you'll learn to slowly pull the controls and be able to slow the motion down, just like with the FEL, they hydraulic controls are not an on/off but incrementally moveable
Watch out for the white hydraulic filter next to the gas tank, it is very possible to hit it with the backhoe arms, its not important how I know this...The filter screws into a pot metal base and the base will snap off and you are immobile until repaired. The issue you may have is leave jt for a month or two and the slide part that goes under the tractor will be 2' off the ground. You then have to park next to it, hook up then put on ground. My suggestion from using the same machine and same backhoe, is use 4 cinderblocks and 2 2x4s to rest on. I run backhoe at 1,700rpm, I switched my bucket to a 12" because of the ammount of rock here and our ground is literally decomposed granite. With a bit of practice you can do 2 functions at once. Also something worth noting, I show this in my maintenance video I'm posting next week, the primary hydraulic feed is exposed on the bottom side of these tractors, I show how I made my skid plate in the video. (It's corney, but works) I would strongly suggest making or having some form of protection for this line, also buy a spare to have it, will cost $20 at dealer, if or when this hose gets torn you will thank me. Otherwise you are stranded until you get it fixed. The diameter of this hose and that it's for hydraulic fluid makes it next to impossible to find. I Have 2 spares, however since I made skid plate have not needed it.
It will take a couple times putting it on to get the process down. Use caution with the hydro filter by fuel tank. You can break it off easily with backhoe frame. I also find hooking up the top link will give you better stability. There is a place for the pin under the seat. Bought a 9 inch bucket for stumps and trenches and it seems to work better for roots.
Brock, that Backhoe looks like it is going to be very capable. I think it'll get easier the more you do it. I hope. Not sure how mine will be it maybe just as big of a pain.
There is definitely no comparison to the JD backhoe removal and pin removal and pin storage. I have looked at several of the tym tractors, and I see they improved the rear seat bracket.. But congratulations. On you getting some good reviews and new equipment. I mean by the manufacturers.
Nice video! This will definitely help someone out. I agree TYM could improve on the backhoe connection design… but you will definitely learn some tricks to make it easier as you go!
I had a 416B cat rubber tire backhoe- no cab. It had 5k hours on it- and I put another 1k on it over 10 years. (it was $24k in 2011- and I sold it for ...$24k in 2020. You get very spoiled being able to push the machine up with the loader from the reversible seat (and toggle throttle). Having the front AND back off the ground really stabilizes the machine. I bought a mini ex with a thumb because the CAT was too heavy to move- but I'll never get used to the 'tippy'-ness of the mini vs the rubber tire machine (plus you could turn around and grab stuff with the 4-1 bucket and actually move it!) Good luck learning the ins and outs, man. Stay safe.
Howdy Brock! Yes sir JD seems to have the backhoe attaching and detaching down. I dunno if I can afford to get a backhoe on my future tractor - not sure I would have enough use to justify the cost. But still... I'd like to have one just to play 😁 I need to find one of those adult heavy equipment camps where you pay just to play lol. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
Would you want a cradle like you had / have for the green machine jd , if so making one from log to final product would make for a good video , with all the thinking of how to build it of course , probably need dads help I'm thinking lol , great work/ job
I saw another video were they used the backhoe's side to side movement to help line it up with the groove. Seemed to work good for them but they didn't mention how far off they were from center. I'm seriously considering getting one of those tractors. Wife says I need to pay off the truck first so another year or so to go lol.
Hey Brock, thanks for the demo. I'm new to tractors and recently bought a bobcat ct2040 with what looks like the same backhoe as that TYM. I haven't removed mine yet, now you have me worried 😟 Can't wait to see more bobcat comparisons. Mine only has about 40hrs and the bucket roll back and backhoe controls seem very touchy/jumpy... Will that smooth out over time??
I’m confused by your comment. I recently switched to recording everything in 4K and I can see that it’s 4K whenever I edit Where are you seeing the resolution?
If you click the gear icon on the video, you can see the available resolutions. For this video it maxes out at 720p. The indoor woodyard video has the same problem. The zero turn mower video before that goes all the way up to 4k (2160p).
I have the same backhoe and I had a heck of a time the first time I put my backhoe back on. After a couple of times, it only takes a couple of minutes.
I just put a thumb on my 474 hoe an it dont have alot of ass picking things up,but i tell you what i got 250hrs or working it like a mini excavator and doing big tree work with it.
Good, informative video. Not the typical "it's easy as heck" FB crap. Respect for not editing the difficult parts out.

I am liking the mini Chinese excavator option after seeing this.
Same here. Stopped looking at backhoes at this point. Can get a Chinese mini that will do more than a subcompact backhoe for same or less money.
I'm leaning that way as well.... I just am fighting a back hoe....seems like a micro-x just would do more to me.
Exactly. I can get a chinese backhoe for almost half what a backhoe for my tractor would cost.
New mic worked well, no wind noise, and could hear clearly. Good demonstration as well, I've always been hesitant to add a backhoe due to overthinking the removal process.

He is a simple process. It’s just a matter of getting it lined up, which took me several tries.
I have a Kioti and the backhoe is very similar. It takes me about two minutes to remove or install. It takes practice, it gets easier. You did great for the first time. The people that seem to have the most problems are the ones that rarely remove them. I’m like you. I have lots of other attachments to use.
That looked very hard. I am sure with practice you would discover the "tricks" that make it easier.
Real world experience, thanks for the honesty.
Thanks!
Thanks
May need to put a flow restricter on that down boom hose.... and yes boom and dipper stick.
Very interesting, that long sub-frame makes the angles in 3 dimensions need to be very precise compared to other brands, but putting the BH on a pallet on wheels on concrete, lets you move it manually and greatly simplifies the process..

Great channel...
Keep up the good work.
Thanks
I stab the buckets, then place the tractor in neutral before getting on the backhoe... Your buckets will be your brakes. Nice setup there, Man!
Morning Lucas
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead Morning, Mike
Like the new camera set up
There's seems to be alot of flex when the boom was bouncing from the tractor subframe

@@TheTractorYard Hey Thanks, Stay Tuned. There will be lots of videos about that machine.

Works almost exactly like a kioti. 2nd person definitely helpful. Wood blocks do work good.

Morning sir! How goes it on the farm this morning?
@@Cowboy_Steve good , everything is good , our one turkey went missing for four days but came back 🤷🏻♂️ señorita is back home lol

Since you like the TYM, Have you ever looked into TYM 1104 tractors for your farm ?
I found it a lot easier to fine a flat part all the time. It so much better.to removed and replaced it back on. Never on rocks.
I wonder if a backup camera would make it easy?
Good morning
Would you want a cradle like you had / have for the green machine jd , if so making one from log to final product would make for a good video , with all the thinking of how to build it of course , probably need dads help I'm thinking lol , great work/ job

I'll predict that within a yr that you'll go back to a Deere.
4052R cab and 485A backhoe if I were to guess.
It'll get easier with a little practice.
This makes my Mahindra backhoe removal and installation look much easier.
Hey Brock, thanks for the demo. I'm new to tractors and recently bought a bobcat ct2040 with what looks like the same backhoe as that TYM. I haven't removed mine yet, now you have me worried 😟

Hey Brock love the channel. Are you aware that the last couple-few videos you’ve uploaded are only 720p?
I’m confused by your comment. I recently switched to recording everything in 4K and I can see that it’s 4K whenever I edit
Where are you seeing the resolution?

I see that it is thumb ready.
Defiantly block it up when you take it off
Build a stand like you did for the jd
I have a kubota mx5400 and removing and reinstalling the back hoe is the easiest I've ever seen about a 15 job off or on
On the John Deere, I could take it all the way off and put it back on inside of five minutes
are your hands running into each other running those sticks?
That's a wood's design
I have the same backhoe and I had a heck of a time the first time I put my backhoe back on. After a couple of times, it only takes a couple of minutes.
Me personally i would never move it after i pulled out. It could stay lifted off the ground
I just put a thumb on my 474 hoe an it dont have alot of ass picking things up,but i tell you what i got 250hrs or working it like a mini excavator and doing big tree work with it.
Where did you get the thumb?
👀👀
ya its a pain in the butt to take on and off.
The backhoe on my Kubota is a easy off and on. The frame stays on the tractor. Just saying
Good reason to not buy this machine,outdated backhoe design.
That is a really poor design. I have the Kubota L3902, and it is so much simpler removing and installing the backhoe.
Yup, I have a 2501 , same design
