How to Remove/Install a Backhoe to Your RK24

[@bhoss7133]

i appreciate that you were honest enough to show your mistake and also include the few attempts to back into the bottom hooks. Some channels edit out the mistakes and then when us viewers dont nail it on the 1st atttempt, it may make us feel like we're doing something wrong.

[@sittricsshop7849]

Thanks for saying so. I think there's more to be learned in mistakes. I too like when other videos show that so I'll always keep them in my videos. Thanks for the comment.

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

Well done! I bought our RK24 and the backhoe came installed. I just bought a box blade and was looking to take the backhoe off and your video made me feel much more comfortable. Very difficult to cover so much info, but you nailed it. Thanks!

[@sittricsshop7849]

Thank you very much. I'm glad my video helped you out. A box blade is a great tool to add to your tractor. I have one and it's been great. Thanks for watching!

[@123hotdog111]

Thanks again. I watch this video every single time I put backhoe on. Perfect explanation.

[@sittricsshop7849]

No problem, I'm glad it's helpful. Thank you for watching.

Oh man!!!!! Thank you so much. I bought the Branson version of this tractor over the savings of about $900. I could not find how to reconnect this backhoe after about 8 months of using the tractor without the backhoe. There was nothing to be found on the internet. The dealer didn’t have another like it to see it. I thought of driving to RK to see if the had one there to explore and decided to google the RK24 video and you’ve saved the day!!!! I really appreciate your effort w this video Btw your driveway gravel project video was one of the key factors on my decision to go with this size and model Thanks again

[@garycassiday4486]

Thanks so much for reminding me how to reconnect the backhoe to my tractor. Your instructions are so easy to understand due to your detail.

[@sittricsshop7849]

No problem, I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@danrolfe1436]

Thanks for doing the video, it's always a big help to watch someone else do something before you try it for the first time.

[@sittricsshop7849]

No problem. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@subixbarbarasson6052]

Thank you. I have a TYM T254 and it seems to be about identical. Now i donfeel so defeated. I also appreciate realizing there may be room for the 3point hitch to stay slightly assembled while the backhoe is on. Thank you so much man.

[@rockingretirementoutdoors3249]

Great video! My brother just removed the backhoe this past weekend for the first time and this video would have been extremely helpful. Really like you videos. Thanks for posting!

[@c-yabugginout7573]

Yes Sir...You did an awesome job explaining. I love that you pointed out what you did wrong. These are the tidbits that help us to not make the same uhoh!! I had assumed I may never take my backhoe off and still may not but nice to know how if the need/desire were ever to arise. Job well done!!

[@sittricsshop7849]

Thank you. There are plenty of three point attachments you might find as useful as your backhoe. If you ever do need it, I hope this video is helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@theorganicgardengnome7210]

Lol, I have the same setup and was reinstalling my backhoe for the first time and forgot how to put it back on and found the video. I like to zip tie the hoses out of the way. Great video.

[@sittricsshop7849]

Well I hope it helped you. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@prow6586]

Very nice. I did everything you mentioned...took the BH off & forgot how it fit together and took the hoses apart & left pressure in one of them on the BH - it was the small one that got me. But thanks to your clear instructions it is back together and ready to work. Thanks.. P.R. 🤠😁😀🚜

[@sittricsshop7849]

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching

[@raybees4114]

Great video, very thorough. This is the same backhoe on the Branson 2505H, I would hazard a guess that there might be a few more brands as well. Thank you again for the attention to detail.

[@sittricsshop7849]

Thank you for watching!

[@lugo2214]

Yes!!!! I’ve looked for that Branson 2505H video and didn’t find anything until I remembered the RK version and this superb video showed up on the search

[@bradleymaddy7380]

I’m at a point of Chinese mini excavator or backhoe attachment. Both the same money. Any thoughts?

[@michaelvoland3625]

Good job. I'm waiting for you to post a video on changing the fuel filter now before I try it myself! LOL

[@ddttdd38]

Thank you, thank you! Struggled with this for a couple of hours the yesterday. Watched this vid and had it hooked up in 15 minutes! Thanks again!

[@sittricsshop7849]

I'm glad I could help. It's what I made these for. Thanks for watching.

[@kenwalter867]

Hey I’m not trying to be a know it all but I believe that the brackets on the backhoe are on the wrong sides. I ordered the backhoe in the crate and I’m doing the complete installation so I’ve been studying up. I’m talking about the large brackets that have 6 bolts. The triangle pieces welded on I believe are to space the brackets wider. Watch a few other videos and I think you will see what I’m talking about. Most seem to be the other way but it might be for a reason I’m not aware of because I’m just getting started.

[@MikeKemp-m7i]

You are the only video I could find on a tractor like mine where the seat rotates for using the back hoe. Very good information... appreciate you.

[@TheMrprez]

I always use a 6x6 block to set the backhoe on, makes it a bit easier to reinstall.

[@sittricsshop7849]

That makes since. I think I'm going to make some kind of dolly to set it on that way I can move it when it's off the tractor.

[@RichADio]

Your video was a big help. Thanks.

[@sittricsshop7849]

No problem and I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching.

[@TheV8nissan]

Great video! Be careful where you put your fingers though!! It appeared you put your finger in the pin hole while it was supported by hydraulic power. (Coming from a guy whose had a finger amputated by hydraulics). Thanks for the video though,I'm looking at mounting this in a different application and need to make custom mounts so I was interested in how it is supported.

[@philliplarson8005]

I had the backhoe added after purchase. You have three hoses, mine only has two. What is the small hose for?

[@michaelvoland3625]

That's what I'm trying to figure out as well. I bought my RK24 last year with the backhoe and it only has two hoses.

[@philliplarson8005]

@@michaelvoland3625 I had to ask RK about that too. They said that the newer models no longer use the third hose. They didn't explain why.

[@michaelvoland3625]

@@philliplarson8005 wow, that’s weird but I’m glad to only have have two hoses, less problems…. Thanks for sharing!

[@warrenmiller6365]

Ok I’m frustrated. I reconnect all three hoses and hydrolics on the backhoe won’t work. Then I disconnect the smaller of the three and they work. I guess one isn’t supposed to be hooked up?

[@kerry4951]

Great demonstration....thanks for sharing

Hi sittric's shop - great video! I've been considering an RK tractor. Probably a 37. But I'm early in the research stage. We're subbing. Please check out our channel if you get a chance!

[@Atouk]

Kioti sure has this system beat.

[@sittricsshop7849]

How do you figure?

[@Atouk]

@@sittricsshop7849 Kioti - drop the outriggers and bucket, pull 2 pins, creep forward, pull the hydraulics and drive away..

[@mxgangrel]

Really appreciate this video. However, I know you younger generations have trouble with your genders but I think you got your male and females mixed up. I'm not going to go back and watch it again just for that, but it was funny.
