Backhoe Rhino backhoe?

[tman1020]

Anyone out there have a rhino 75C backhoe. I have the bobcat version of the CK 27 and would like to put a backhoe on the back of it. I'm wanting to know if you have to remove the three-point linkage in order to install the subframe mount backhoe. Also if anyone has any experience with the rhinos good experiences or bad would appreciate hearing about them. Thanks.

Also was wondering if anyone has tried the 8TB other tractor.

I don't have a 75. But I run a Rhino 85 on my DK 35 and the 3 point linkage can be left on.

Thank you DKvince. I'm thinking about trying to put that TBH8 on my CT 225. I know it's one size larger than they recommend. What's your opinion on it does your tractor Handle the eight no problem do you think it would be okay on a slightly smaller frame?

My Rhino 85 is an 8 1/2' backhoe. My DK 35 handles it with no problem.
I'm not familiar enough with the CT or CK series to say how an 8 would work.

I have a 8tb on my ct335 bobcat tractor, my 3 point hitch was removed to accept the subframe and backhoe, not sure it can be left on but I don't think it would leave much room. Overall I am very pleased with the hoe, she's very well built, the subframe ties into the tractor very well. The controls are very comfortable and responsive for a small hoe. I would recommend trying to find a 8tb if possible. I have owned a woods 7.5 and it was also a nice hoe however it does not compare to the bobcat 8tb.

Thanks again i'm still hunting having a hard time finding the bobcat version may have to go with the rhino version. I just hope that I can leave the three-point linkage on. I also would like for the subframe to stay on the tractor when I remove the backhoe wonder how hard that will be.

The sub-frame is bolted to the backhoe and clipped with pins to the tractor. Much easier to take it on & off with the sub-frame. I think, not sure, the sub-frame sticks out the rear some and might interfere with using 3 point attachments. If the sub-frame is problem for storing the backhoe, remove all 1 bolt on each side and swing the frame vertical and strap to the hoe.

I think if you want the subframe to remain on the tractor you need to go with Woods with the 4 point type frame. But I believe the 3 point must be removed for this style backhoe to be installed.
The Bobcat/Rhino subframes are attached to the backhoe and come off with the hoe.
