Backhoe 1710A vs. 1710C ?

[Patiofarmer]

Reading about all you getting b.hoes has me thinking about it now:thumbsup:

Will the 1710A work with the 2015HST ?
I won't do much serious digging with it.

Or do I have to choose between the 1710C and the woods bh70x?

A 1710 backhoe is a 1710 backhoe, and the ABC designation just designates the subframe that fits each tractor A = 1815/1816 B = 2415/2516 C = 2015/2216

Thank you Galen

So the 1710C is not an attachment designation, it is the whole tractor if I understand you ??

 

[LAWALLSTRACTOR]

A 1710A is a 1710 backhoe with a subframe that fits an 1815/1816 and a 1710B is a 1710 backhoe with a subframe that fits a 2415/2516 tractor and the 1710C fits a 2015 or 2216.

And I might add, just to confuse things, that there was a 2710 for a couple of years that also fits the 2015/2216. It was a little oversized in my opinion.

Just a difference in my opinion, Dave. I thought the 2015 2710 combination was one awsome combination. It was tough for any of the competition to compete with what that machine would do.

And we sold quite a few of them because of the specs, but try driving up a steep hill or ramp with no ballast in the front bucket and you had to steer with the brakes, because the front tires were surely off the ground. That was my only issue with them.

Oh that is not good at all. I routinely grab whole trees with the bucket and thumb and after locking the boom up, I drive the tree to the burn pile with the backhoe swung out to the side with the root ball near my rear tire. I wouldn't be able to do it with the 2015 2710 combination. But then again, it is always easy to find a bucket full of dirt for ballast. Driving up on a high trailer would be fun with the front end lite enough to have to use brakes for steering.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Thanks much for all the input... it will take a while to sort thru it but appreciate the help.

Another option you might want to look into are Woods backhoes. I have a BH70-X on my 2615 and love it. Not sure if there is an equivalent to the 1710 but something to check into. Also a subframe style is the only way to go, less chance of damage compared to mounting to the three point.

 

[Patiofarmer]

I just stumbled on discussion about the downside of 3pt mounting.
I'll only be using it for real light digging...maybe I should look at 3pt small trencher instead. I wish the hoes weren't so expensive new.
Thanks much for the tip.

hi there, about how much does your 2615 weigh? i have been wondering about third party bh's. the local dealer says to buy mahindra of coarse in case you have problems. he said the 1710 is a little over 6 grand all said and done. they sell mahidra and other tractors as well as snappers. i bought basic parts for the snapper to get it running,just bought it from a neighbor, and this dealers prices on those parts seemed kinda high. maybe the backhoe price is not the best price. i bought the 2216 from an individual. almost new though so maybe with a tractor you would get a little better price. anywho, what i'm tying to figure out now is the third party bakhoe's for the 2216. anyone out there have one they can shed some light about?
the 2710, woods iguess it was in previous post being on the verge of being too big scare me, a first time tractor owner. i almost turned it over the second thing i did with it. i took off the brushhog and miscalculated the weight of the bricks. luckily all i got was a valuble lesson. thanks for all the valuable info from all of everyones input. tomt
