I just scored this beauty a couple weeks ago off of Craig's list. Been looking for a long time. Was just about to break down and put one on the truck. But then you are susceptible to many favors. The tractor don't leave the lot. The guy said it was only used 3 times and I believe him. No wear on the cutting edge and the sticker is still on the front of the blade.
I thought about the frame mounts too, but never found one of them either. I liked this setup for the quick attach so I can have my loader when needed as well. I have heard they tear up the loader but mine is sloppy anyway so I went for it.
This thing has the angling rams on it but for now I am going to do it manually and see how it works. If we ever get more than a dusting that is.
Has anyone bought the setup for the extra hydraulic function on the loader. Or have any idea what it costs? The other thing I thought about was mounting a valve on the loader mast and using the power beyond for the backhoe as a supply. That seems hokey but would work.
Anyway I would just like to hear others experiences or thoughts. Thanks for listening.
