Backhoe needed

pjf · Jan 10, 2011

Have a DK65 cab and would like to get a backhoe for it. What models will fit it correctly. Woods, Kioti or other?

Thanks

I wanted to get a backhoe for my cab 45 but I always think what a pita it would be to crawl in and out of the cab everytime I want to use the hoe. My option, if I decide to do it, would be to buy a small excavator. I have seen some low hour small units that are selling for not much more than an add on for a tractor. Good luck, maybe your circumstances are different than mine.

Do you have a DK65 or a DK65S?
Do you want the biggest you can get or say a 7 to 8-1/2 digging depth model?

I agree. i have a BH, it came with the tractor. Will use it for a couple of projects this spring, than sell it. If you got a lot of digging to do, PITA to keep moving the tractor. BUT, the BH is a Wood w/hyd thumb. Nice unit. If you get one, the thumb is a must.
