I have a Deere 855, would like to get a backhoe for it. Are there any alternatives to the Deere Mdl 7 that can be used on it with no alterations?

Maybe a 3 point hitch backhoe But not recommend by the manufacture, They break the top link mount . Other than that a #7 JD backhoe, sorry I think that's it unless you want to put something together .

That's what I'm finding out - apparently there are no aftermarket hang-ons available. I've done some casual looking for a used Model 7 but they're scarce. Thanks

I had one on my JD 770 nice little backhoe , If you find it make sure you get the sub frame with it. Most times its on the tractor and gets sold and the backhoe won't work with out it

A New Holland 757 frame mount can be very easily modified to fit. IMG_0330.JPG

Yes I ran off the power beyond, it was within 100 pounds of the #7 John Deere hoe

I do have stickers and green paint so it will be a green number 7 hoe eventually

To the original poster, there is a No. 7 for sale near me now. I can see that I am nowhere near you, but at least this may provide a little hope to you that they are out there and do come up for sale now and then.
