We bought our first tractor ever, an M7040, complete with Backhoe. For some reason, we have to disconnect and swap our hydraulic hoses (the ones below the right hand side of the footwell) (switching the direction of flow or something) every time we switch between the Backhoe and any of the other 3pt attachments. The people at the dealership looked like they didn't understand why that was but they weren't real familiar with the backhoe and it doesn't seem like they were certain they had the hydraulics plumbed right. Does anyone know whether that's right?
