My bx2230 has those tabs but I don't think they are for storing the lift arms. I {think} they are for extra braceing when the 3ph backhoe is hooked up. And , yes, the 3ph does raise and lower the mmm. The linkage is on the right side, hard to see behind the tire.
Anybody with a BX series, that stowes their vertical lift rods?

Hodge, I dont think those tabs are the only hookups for the 3ph backhoe. I think all 3 are connected, the 3ph and those 2 tabs,, that would make for a strong mount to the tractor. I allmost bought a 3ph backhoe for my bx2230 last week but it was 600 miles away. Still looking.

My Operators Manual states they are for use to keep the lift arms up by attaching the lift links to them.
I made a set for mine also. I have a quick disconnect for all the implements and haveing those arms not flopping around makes it real easy to back up to the tools and pick them up.

The best I remember, it was for use in rough ground, but like I mentioned, I've never used mine for anything but tie down points when transporting.
