143 - Kubota BH77 Backhoe Subframe Install

In this video I install the the Kubota BH77 Backhoe Subframe Kit and do some plumbing modifications to the hydraulic lines to work correctly with the 3rd function valve and the BH77 backhoe .
Although this subframe kit (BH4966) is for attaching a Kubota BH77 backhoe to my Kubota LX2610 compact tractor it is similar to many other kits. Other subframe kits may have more or different parts for installing the BH77 backhoe onto other Kubota tractor models. This overview should be somewhat similar for other backhoe models as well.
Hopefully this video gives you and idea of what would be involved to install a Backhoe Subframe Kit.

Spending time outdoors doing projects with various machines and tools - anything from cutting trees, firewood, clearing brush, milling wood, plowing snow, reviewing, repairing & fabricating equipment. Doing landscaping and maintenance on my forested property using my Kubota tractor.
And its not all work!! Gotta take time to play - after turning my pond into a skating rink, and a whole bunch more of outdoor activities.

Thanks Luc. As soon as the camera was psused my wife asked to try. Her hand fit like a glove and in 2 seconds she had the bolt on. We had a good laugh. You too, have a great weekend!

Hey, Paul! You are going to have some fun with this backhoe. I really like how you have your shop nice and tidy. I can't wait to see the backhoe in action. Take care

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks John. I had to move a bunch of stuff out so that I could bring in the tractor to work on the backhoe subframe. You too, take care and have a great week!

Great Video - I might have removed the seat first to give myself more room - but that said - great video on the hydraulic lines

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you Gregory. In the 2nd half of the backhoe subframe kit install, next week's video, I do have to remove the seat. I did take a good look beforehand if removing the seat would have helped to provide more room. It was the fender stay / cross-support that was in the way and not the seat components. I didn't want to loosen the fenders and remove the fender stay / cross-support just to insert the one bolt. It was the only bolt that was hard to insert where I couldn't get my hand in enough. My wife got her hand in there and had that bolt inserted in 2 seconds. Have a super weekend!

Thank you Sir. I really appreciate the kind words and the continuous channel support that you provide. The backhoe subframe is pretty heavy duty. Have a super weekend!

Great video, I’m going through this now with my open station lx2610. Where did you get the hydraulic schematic from ?

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good morning and thank you. I have have the Land Pride 3rd function valve. Here is a link to the manuals for the 3rd function valve installation. It includes the plumbing diagram to install the 3rd function valve without a backhoe and with a backhoe attached. The LX2610 and the B2650 manuals are the ones that I used for the 3rd function valve install. Have a great day!
