Kubota B7610
First of all, a big thank you to all the long time members of this site, who I have been mooching advice off of for a while. Your advice and lessons learned have been very valuable.

I just aquired a Kubota L600 backhoe, and would like to use it on my B7610. The backhoe was given to me very cheaply, but I have zero experience with backhoes, and have never run one before, let alone mounted one to a tractor.

After reading through the various past forums, I have noticed that a number of people are looking for a subframe connector of some type to link the backhoe to the tractor. Is this necessary? Won't just hooking up the backhoe to the 3-pt work?

Also, how have other people hooked up the hydraulics for a backhoe? It this just a matter of getting some tees, and connecting in where the loader connects in?

Thank you for your suggestions and advice,

Ooops, its a K 600 backhoe, not an L 600, but the questions are the same!

Thanks!

I don't know if that back hoe is large enough to damage your tractor, a sub-frame is a good idea if you can get one.
The hydraulics will need to be connected in series with the rest of the system. If you tee into the system neither the loader nor the BH will work. KrnnyV

Capester,

The weak point on the B7610 is the cast bellhousing - that is where the tractor will break in half if you install the backhoe without the subframe.

Don't ask how I know - I just do so save yourself a bunch of pain and use the subframe with the backhoe.

Good luck!
