Price Check NH 758C Backhoe

[SevernDH]

A couple things ...

First, thank you for the pictures, Hematite. They have been very helpful in understanding what I need and how things are designed to fit together.

Second, what I thought was a decent deal has turned out to be one of my less intelligent purchases. On the plus side, it came with the proper subframe for my tractor. On the minus side, none of the bracketry that bolts to the tractor is there. I have now ordered everything I need from Partspring, except for a handful of hydraulic fittings and couplers ... NH sure is proud of their bent metal .. ouch! Just over $1500, but at least the shipping is free ... LOL!!

Your lucky to have the mounts included. When I last checked between both mounts and shipping for a Bradco 611 to a TC 55 was as much as I paid for the hoe. Should work great with your size machine.

Yikes. I certainly would not have thought it could add up to that much. They are very proud it seems.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that the brackets weren't included!

More than happy to help with the pics. If you need more I'll try to take different perspectives. I will say that you will get a LOT of work out of the 758 so that will offset the cost, ultimately.

I've asked my dealer for the torque values for the brackets but he hasn't gotten back to me, yet. I'll let you know when I find out. I wanted to know them so that I can check my unit from time to time.

Sounds like you "assumed " too quickly. Like I said they get gold for the mounts. I had less than 300 in steel to fabricate my mounts. I didn't see anything special in Bradco preformed steel.

I am looking at buying an old 758C ( 2000-2001 vintage) for my Ford 1700. It comes with the subframe but it's for a TC series so I will have to fab up brackets etc. If anyone has any manuals or photos showing how it should mount I would greatly appreciate any help in this area.
Thanks
