Backhoe Generic Backhoe Querie

[MacMurphy]

I have just purchased my first tractor and am excited !!

I opted for a FEL but stopped short of the backhoe for present anyway. Presently I have the following 2 queries regarding backhoes.

1)
Is the backhoe like the FEL in that it must suite the tractor or is it a generic 3pl item or similar in that I can keep a look out for a small tractor backhoe and it will work with my CK30HST ?

2) When the backhoe is fitted/installed is it simple to remove as is the FEL or is it a permanent/semi permanent attachment ? When fitted can I still use 3pl implements such as the RMM or would i have to remove the hoe first ?

Thanks

Murph

#1 Most BH require some special attachment to put a Subframe BH on a specific tractor. 3PH type BH's may require special heavy heavy duty links. My <font color="orange"> Kubota </font> required a new bracket.

#2. Yes, you will need to remove BH from tractor to use 3PH attachments.

There are generic loaders and backhoes that will work. Some are better, others are worse than what the manufactures offer. I don't know how many choice you will have for a Kioti, but Woods, Bradco, Land Pride and Kelly are the big players.

Hi Mike, yes I'm in Aus/Oz, how did you know ?

I've been trying to work out how to update my profile but always get distracted by something else on the site... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
