JD 447 BH on CT2025

[Peter241]

I'm on the brink of buying a CT2025 and want to have a backhoe, however this is where it get complicated.

My brother in law has a JD447 backhoe (3pt) that I can use/have however I want frame mount it to the 2025. Has anyone purchased the Bobcat "subframe" brackets and modified it and another backhoe to have them match up? The Bobcat subframe is totally different than I expected after looking at Kubota and Kioti options (they would have been easier). If I can do this I would save over $10k on the BH76.

Thanks!
Peter

With enough time and money any thing can be done. With a 10k budget there is a lot of wiggle room to manufacture subframe mounts.
