KMW Ltd. MB3720
Subframe-mounted tractor backhoe attachment engineered by KMW Ltd. for Mahindra compact utility tractors.
Quick-Glance Shop Specs
Full Matrix ↓Always cycle control valves through all positions with the tractor engine off to relieve trapped hydraulic head pressure before disconnecting quick-couplers. Inspect coupler poppets and clean tips rigorously before reconnecting to prevent introducing abrasive dirt directly into the tractor's central hydrostatic and hydraulic loop.

Common Issues (3)
KMW Ltd. MB3720: Backhoe hydraulic functions move sluggishly or erratic under moderate load
Root Cause: Hydraulic quick-disconnect coupler not fully seated, causing an internal poppet restriction.
Shop Check: Shut off tractor, relieve residual circuit pressure, uncouple and firmly re-seat high-pressure quick couplers.
KMW Ltd. MB3720: Boom or dipper arm creeps downward rapidly when control levers are released in neutral
Root Cause: Internal cylinder piston seal blowout or leaking work port relief/load-check valve in the control block.
Shop Check: Perform a cylinder bypass test; if cylinder passes, disassemble and service control valve spool O-rings and seats.
KMW Ltd. MB3720: Excessive slop and chattering at bucket and dipperstick hinge joints during excavation
Root Cause: Severe wear on pivot pins and hardened sleeve bushings due to inadequate lubrication intervals.
Shop Check: Drive out worn hardened pins and press-fit new replacement bushings and pivot pins.
