Backhoe Subframe Backhoe

[back_the_pack]

Just curious, will my Woods 7500 subframe mount hoe that is currently installed on my NH 1920 fit on another tractor? I bought the hoe with the tractor, and now wonder if I can keep it if I ever change tractors. Probably a stupid question, but any help would be great. Thanks.

The hoe itself is really generic, within reason. The subframe itself would more than likely need to be changed out due to mounting points. On my Bush Hog hoe the subframe is actually a bolted together 5 piece rail assembly that mates up for the quick connect. the back rails bolt up to the lower unit of the hoe, extending under the tractor the front 3 rail pieces are what's different due to wheelbase lengths and varied mount points. Swap the rails on mine and it will bolt up from my B2910 to a B7500. So, more than likely bolt on a new tractor receiver assembly, and the hoe to tractor assembly and that's it.

The one peice welded subframe and front mount for the subframe are usually tractor specific. However if I remember right the subframe kit for my New Holland TC29 was only $130. and is very easy to install. Woods make this hoe to fit a large variety of compact tractors. Just curios as to what tractor you are thinking about getting.

I had a 7500 w/ subframe on my Kubota L2900
then traded it for a 9000 w/ subframe (for ford 2000 I think).
The 9000 frame measured the same length but was wider
and heavier built.
I put a SSL Q-T on it but kept subframe.
Now I have a 35D and am going to call Woods and just
get mounts for it.
It looks like they use same frames just different mounts.
Call Woods tech line.

Thanks for the help guys. To answer the question about which tractor, I really don't even know if I am going to change. I am just considering all of my options. I must say I have really enjoyed my NH, and would likely go with them again.
