Backhoe Installing Woods Backhoe

[mrutkaus]

How big a deal is it to install the BH-80X subframe on the CK30HST?

Do you have to, and how difficult is it to, remove the rear wheels (Ag, unloaded)?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike, the dealer did have to remove my rear tires to install the subframe.. It didnt look like a big deal though.. Why would you need to remove it? Matt

Thanks Matt, trying to figure out do it myself or take to dealer...

Maybe I would do one tire at a time!

Mike,
The older tractors have 2 reflectors mounted on the roll bar that have to be cut off, also the seat has to be removed to hook up the hydraulics unless you have rear remotes, and if you have the rear remotes tell who ever you are getting the backhoe from you do not need the hose kit. Then you will have to have 2 hoses mad for the hydraulic hook up.
If you plan on doing it yourself give yourself atleast 6-8 hours for a first timer.
Do not tighten any bolts until everything is hung.
If you like you can actually go to the Woods web page and click on manuals and view the installation manual and see if that is something that you want to tackel.

I can also send my guys to your house and install it for you but it might be more than you want to spend.
