Attaching a backhoe

[dfkrug]

If I was to build a subframe I think I would like it to be sufficiently long to place the
backhoe front just beyond the back of the 3ph so I would not need to remove the Quik Hitch, which is time
consuming.

Wow, that's going to stick out pretty far. Is your departure angle going to work? You certainly
can build a subframe that is not braced above the axle. There are units out there (the Kioti 2375
subframe comes to mind) where the toplink connection is optional, and damage sometimes
occurs.

I see a Woods 750 for sale near Lancaster for $2000. Even has a subframe for an older Kubota.
You might be able to get it for $1500.

Just curious if the hoses are that big a deal when they crack.I have a 750 and all the hoses craked years ago. I reciently rebuilt it and let the loose coverings fall off .so it is to the braiding. I havent had any problems .Knock on wood..Not to sidetrack the original post either.
