Backhoe Backhoe on 3520 w/Cab??

[TheBigKahuna]

Hi,

I have a fairly new 3520 with a cab. Is it possible to add a backhoe? If not JD then possibly a Woods?

Thanks.

the JD hoe will not work right now with a cab. I think i read
somewhere thay were working on this for next year.

I cant coment on the woods hoe. as i dont know much
about them. i am sure someone that knows more about them will
chime in shortly. but right now a 2007 3520 with comfort guard cab.
will not except a 48 /447/or 448 hoe. according to john deere..

I had the same question when I purchased my 3520/Cab. Woods does make a mount that will fit this tractor.
I e-mailed Woods and they e-mailed me back a copy of the installation and operation manual for the mount.
Send them an e-mail. They are very helpful.

Thanks for all the info. I'll send Woods an email. Too bad JD doesn't have a solution yet for this class of tractor.

That would be great if Woods does make a conversion for their Groundbreaker Series Backhoes. I've checked them out and they seem like a very nice backhoe. I would take either, the JD448, or The 8' Groundbreaker X Series by Woods. The only deciding factor for me would be is if the Groundbreaker is nearly as easy to attach and detach as the JD448 is. I just noticed everything on the Groundbreaker looks nice and heavy duty.
