I have a buddy that is going to sell his 3 point hitch BH. He only used it once and I can get it for a good price. Can someone tell me what the CT36HST would require to add the BH to it ? TIA !!!

It depends on the backhoe. Some 3PH Backhoes use remote hydraulics and some have their own PTO pump. It it has a PTO pump, you probabally wont have to add anything. If it runs off the remotes, you will need to add them.

PS. 3PH backhoes are harder on your equipment than a sub-frame mount. They are very heave and put a lot of stress on the 3PH components. I wouldn't want to use a 3PH all the time, but for ocassional work they are ok.
