I'm looking at a used Skid Steer Backhoe like the one in the link, can anyone see any reason this would or would not work on a XG3035H?

Thanks.

It could work, just need a subframe fab'ed up, to hook the two together.

Check the flow requirements for it and also how your FEL will handle them - they are quite heavy. I used one on a Bobcat when I built a swimming pool in Bismarck, ND (a friend and neighbor was an engineer for Melroe and got to borrow machinery from the factory). They work nicely but are heavy and, being made for a Bobcat with accy hydraulics and often high flow, they might want more GPM than a CUT can provide. I don't know this, just worth looking at.

Usually skid steer implements that require large flow rates are things with hydro motors. Backhoes only have cylinders and unless they are 4" in diameter the tractor will have plenty of flow for them.


As far as hooking it to the FEL, that is not going to work. 1000lbs sticking out 3 feet from the pins. I doubt that tractor could even lift it let alone be stable enough be able to do work with it... without destroying the FEL.
I would think the only way to use that would be to take the SSQA plate off and build a subframe mount. subframes are simple. just get someone with similar tractor and BH to get you pictures.

The question is, Are you saving anything by not just getting the backhoe built for the tractor?

OK, I'm talked out of it now.

Thanks.

All the skid steer backhoes I've seen this one included have a bracket welded on the skid steer. You can't just clip them on the loader and be done.

Renting a track hoe is soooo much easier.
Then you get to take it back and let them replace all the dry rotting hydro lines or leaking from the fittings.
Nope, I have a hard enough time keeping up with maintenance on my FEL.

What痴 so hard about FEL maintenance? I致e bent a cylinder which was my fault and blown a hose. Other than that squirt some grease in it and call it done. I got all my money back on my backhoe when I sold it. Good luck recouping your rental money and the fuel and time spent to get it.
