I am finding myself taking the backhoe off to put the 3 point on All the time. Anyone else with a backhoe and regularly uses 3 point? Looking to see if there are any easier options? Unbolting the 3 point all the time is a PITA.

Buy another tractor?
:):)
That's why I have NOT sold the L3130 after buying the L4740 w/cab last year. It's just too convenient jumping on another tractor versus swapping BH and 3-pt linkages.

Lol, I may seem like I’m kinda slow for posting this however I was looking for a possible quick connect 3 point setup or something that may have been created by people with the same issue. I was looking at the setup earlier and have an idea I will probably make and see if people are willing to purchase if it works. Nice to have another tractor hanging out and is a awesome option, however not my option. I know the backhoe has to come off which is easy, however the rest I think can be easier.

Good luck!

I have an MX4800 with a BH92 and I pull it off and on frequently. I replaced the bolts on the stabilizer with pins and keepers, only two bolts required now, (the pins for the bottom of the 3 point) I can swap it out in 5 to 10 minutes now. Also built a simple rolling cradle for the hoe which makes it easier.

Dealer told me pins instead of bolts as well to speed it up. Still have 2 bolts on mine even if I did that but probably save a few mins swapping it off and on
