L3400 backhoe

Has anyone tried the BH80X hoe on the 3400. Is it a good size for this tractor. Also interested in the Ansung Tomcat tc75, any opinions on each would be appreciated. Thanks,

Tom

I have a BH80X on my 3400... it is a perfect size for the tractor. I went with the PTO pump setup on the advice of my dealer. Power is good, and you don't have to worry about contamination of your tractor hydraulics from frequent on and off hookups of the hoe.

Is that a 3-pt attachment? I thought the PTO pump was 3-pt only? I plan on getting a BH for mine eventually and I would like to hear/know more. What is the approx. cost for having one installed and how does it perform?

My BH80X is installed with a subframe... DO NOT install a 3 pt. backhoe on an L3400!...rear housings have been know to crack... search for some older posts.
