Backhoe Does anyone make a backhoe to 3 point adapter?

BruceWard · Feb 15, 2009

I have a Kubota B21 and would like to be able to attach a rock rake and box blade to the end of the backhoe instead of removing the backhoe and attaching to the 3 point. Does anyone make a 3 point adapter that replaces a backhoe bucket?

This would be faster to attach as well as providing down force and reach.

If you convert to a quick attach bucket (~$1000) you can add QA adaptors to the attachments and give it a go, but the results may not be as good as you hoped.

I think if you are driving the tractor working a ground engaging implement on the end of the backhoe there is a high risk of damaging the backhoe.

It think it may sound better / easier in fantasy than it turns out to be in reality.

Exactly. The lack of a float valve on the boom being one of the bigger issues. The other being the weight at a distance overpowering the hoe and potentially causing structural damage. But, it could work. Depends on the attachment, the ground, the operator, etc.
