I bought my L3540 this summer it came with a BH72. It also came with the 3pt arms and the loader brackets that i assume are used if it did not have a backhoe.

I have disconnected the backhoe a few times but have yet to put the 3pt arms on. I am rebuilding a feedlot at my place and took the backhoe off tonight as i need to dig some holes with a post hole auger. Just glancing at the backhoe brackets, is there going to be a clearance issue (side to side)?

I also purchaced a 3pt snowblower for this winter and am now wondering if there could be clearance issues for that?

I didn't have any clearance issues with my tractor when I put the arms on it and ran the tiller.

My B2650 BH77 backhoe frame on the tractor does not interfere with any of my 3-point attachments. I have a 3-point box blade and a wood chipper. Of course I remove the one upper and 2 lower 3-point link arm assemblies from the tractor before anything is attached on the back.
