Backhoe Kioti backhoe

Does anyone have a Kioti backhoe.
I am interested in how they work,how are they for putting on and removing.
I am considering a backhoe with a subframe ,and would like some input.

I forgot to mention this is for a Kioti DK 35.
Thanks..

I have the KB2085 on my DK 45, subframe mounted. On and off without much hassle. Have not timed the task since I don't get in much of a hurry anymore. Has the 18" Bucket and does a good job. It sure is handy to have around. It's sort of like the Kioti FEL though. Low quality paint and does not match good unless they have changed.

I have an LK2554 with a Kioti sub frame mounted backhoe and a 16" bucket.
It works great, digs great even in my rocky soil and is very easy to take off and reinstall. Drop the outriggers and bucket to the ground to support it, pull 2 pins, drive away a few feet and then take the pto pump off by pushing the spring loaded disconnect. Remount in reverse order. Takes about 5 minutes on or off. Hope this helps.

Yes it does,thanks.
I would like a backhoe that is easy on and off .The Kioti 2085 hoe with bucket is around $6500 so it may be a while.
My home made Caddigger hoe works fairly well till then.
