For All Tractors
If you wish to use the tractor hydraulic system, consult
the dealer of your tractor for a safe and proper method of
connecting the Land Pride Backhoe to your tractor.
For John Deere Tractors
The return hose supplied with your backhoe will not be
long enough. You will have to purchase a 1/2” return
hose with a length suitable for the following procedure.
Purchase a Port Filter Cover (John Deere Part number
AT301970) from your dealer if filter cover is not already
ported for an auxiliary return line. Install it on your tractor.
Attach the backhoe’s pressure hose to the tractor quick
coupler. Attach the backhoe’s return hose to the port
filter cover that you installed. Move the control lever on
the tractor so that it starts a flow to the backhoe valve,
and secure it in full open position.
NOTE: Many newer John Deere tractors will already
be equipped for this return hose porting through filter
cover cap back to transmission sump.
This procedure results in a direct connection to the John
Deere master pump, and eliminates a return into the rear
transfer pump chamber. The problem with returning oil
into the rear transfer pump chamber is that if the tractor
engine RPM is throttled down to a point at which the oil
transfer pump cannot supply sufficient oil to the main
system pump, the main pump runs out of oil in its sump
and starts chattering.
Mounting The Backhoe
Refer to Figure 1-5:
Familiarize yourself with all of the terms in the following
instructions “Description of Major Backhoe Parts”.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that there is sufficient
clearance for the operator if the backhoe is mounted to
a tractor with a cab or is equipped with a ROPS. The
ROPS may need to be extended or flipped around to
obtain sufficient clearance.
