I believe they are the same as the older DK series, not the new DKSE 2007 and newer

Yep. The subframe is probably different.

Yea, I was wondering about this. I believe the hoe is a 2006-2007 build date, which was the last year they offered the 8454.
I could take some additional pics/measurements of the subframe if anyone is interested, but unfortunately can't do that till I get home next month.

You can buy a Kioti or Rhino sub frame that will bolt right to the backhoe and all of the Kiot model tractors new or old.
This is a very good deal for someone.
Backhoes usually run $1,000 per foot new!

"He is talking about the older DK's
Made from around 2001 up to around 2007.
The subframe he has will fit the old style DK40/45/50
As well as the corresponding Cub 8404-8454.
If you buy your own subframe from Kioti it will fit any that will handle that big of a hoe.

BTI"

This was quoted from BTI on another thread. So, as I understand it, the hoe and subframe I have will fit right on the DK 40/45/50, and the hoe itself will fit on any other 40-50 ?HP Kioti with a different subframe....or possibly modify this one with some cutting/welding/.....?
I would like to sell it before 1 November, and can do a bit better on the price.

thanks!

I think that's a great deal. If I didn't already have one I would consider it myself. I have a 2002 DK50C and my backhoe looks almost identical. that Cub Cadet one is an upgraded version. They raised the pivot point on the boom for more ground clearance. Kioti did the same with the later KB2385s. I love mine and have never regretted buying it.That sub frame is the same as mine. very easy to remove and install the hoe (about 3 min.) and you do not have to remove the 3pt arms only the top link. so if any of you guys are thinking about it don't hesitate they work great.

Frenchie,

Nice TLB! I'd love to buy this hoe from Frank. Heck he even offered to Paint it Orange and deliver it...

My attachment budget is just fully spent for 2011...

Wallace says he has a subframe for my newer DK50se too!

Somebody needs to buy this!
