Possibly something to do with the cast iron axle/gear housing?
Backhoe for 3D series?
I'm being told that I can't add a backhoe to a 3D series tractor. What is different that limits the ability?

The E and D flow about the same, just over 5gpm. R is like 8gpm. (info from Tractordata.com. Accurate?)
Can you get an OEM backhoe on an E?
Has nothing to do with hydrostatic trans. Backhoes were offered on gear drive machines for many years in the past, from John Deere. Is there a power beyond option for the D series machines?

I don't have answers to any of that.should not be an issue. Dont they all come with subframe option? I dont know, just asking. Im thinking it has to do with hydraulic flow and e hydro. Anyone know how these backhoes get supplied fluid. Does power beyond require e hydro?
What is different is that Deere chose not to make a BH compatible with the 3D machines. All of the BHs used with the Deere CUTs are mounted via a subframe and Deere decided not to make a subframe that fits the 3D. They also don't have the required hydraulics to run a BH on the 3D.
The 3D series was designed to be kept simple and cheap. If you want the ability to add complexity, you pay for it by buying a higher level machine. As the old saying goes, there ain't no free lunch.
So there is no Power Beyond for the 3D machines?
