It's hard to tell, but it doesn't appear to have affected your ground clearence much. Thanks for posting the photos. I'm looking forward to the continuing saga.

Cliff,
I just took a quick look at the tractor. The lower support braces that route below the axle tube extend about 1 inch or so lower than the bottom of the transmission case (which was the lowest point in the rear anyway). Photo 6 shows the best view of this (look at the lower brace on the far side of the photo). I wouldn't think that little bit of lost ground clearance would cause any problems.

PDe,

Funny, I was just thinking of posting and asking how your install was coming along. So far everything looks great. Where will the hoe get its hydraulic power from? Does it have its own PTO driven pump, or is it off of the 2210's? I had heard both mentioned. Am looking forward to more updates/pics. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Now I'm going to be planting a lot of trees shortly, wish I had a backhoe. too many of these - $$$- that I don't have. Two issues that would concern me about the weight of the hoe on the 2210; one- the <font color="#666666"> </font> aluminum <font color="black"> </font> transaxle housing and how much can it take? two: my front end gets awfully light when I use my roto tiller, would the hoe require some weights on the front?

JDFANATIC,
Hydraulic power is supplied by the 2210. Two lines tap into fittings on top of the rockshaft control valve. All the hose fittings, brackets and the hoses came with the hoe. I just bought a gallon of low-vis hydraulic fluid to make-up for the oil required by the hoe.

megotatractor,
From the heft, structure and mounting of the subframe, it appears the digging forces will be dispersed through both the transaxle and the frame of the tractor. With the forward subframe mounts bolted to where the loader supports attach to the tractor frame, the hoe's digging forces would pull on these mounts as well as the subframe mounts attached to the transaxle and axle tubes. It's hard to say how much force the transaxle can handle and remain intact.

Per the instructions, the hoe is designed to be mounted and operated on a tractor with a front-end loader. It appears the weight of the loader would act to counter balance some if not most of the weight of the hoe. In case more weight is needed, I'll toss-in a suitcase weight or two into the FEL bucket, especially if the front end gets light when driving the tractor from the garage to the dig site.

I believe that the operators manual states that the FEL is required to operate the backhoe.... For weight and stability purposes....


If you do not have a FEL sounds like a good justification to pick one up /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the pics - looks pretty good in green, but I'd bet it'll look even better in Case Red. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can't believe you didn't take time off work to get your new backhoe fully installed. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif You need to get your priorities straight. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We're waiting for the rest of the pics... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

PDe,

I saw one of these in the orange color at the Kubota dealer in Schoolcraft last summer. The dealer agreed, it looked beefier than the unit that comes with the BX23. I'm looking forward to seeing yours mounted up.

Your bio says western Michigan. Where exactly are you?

curious I am; what of the ease of removal and mounting? How is the hoe mounted to the subframe? is it "quick remove " at all or do you intend to leave it on?

 

[Scrounger]

So what is the BH from Woods running these days?

 

[PDe]

The hoe is mounted to the subframe at four, quick-mount points. See attached photo of the four mount points located on the tractor. Two follow-up photos show the mounting plate that will be bolted to hoe's frame. From what I've read, the hoe's stablizer pads and boom are used to position the hoe to the tractor's four point mount, then raised into position and attached to the tractor. Once I work through the procedure to attach the hoe to the tractor I'll post some comments with photos.

Scrounger,

Ok I must be blind since I can't find a 2nd page of responses. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
