Backhoe Woods Backhoe

Has anyone read or found any information on a Woods 3 point backhoe for the CK20 and what is everyone's opinion on 3-points for the CK20 ?? Thanx

Well, for 3pts. in general they are very hard on a tractor. They have been know to break a machine. Subframe mounted hoes are much better. They are better for a machine because the forces are exerted over the subframe instead of the tractor itself.

I prefer the subframe mounted backhoe myself..

was just looking at woods backhoes the other day for an lk3054 and saw they have a new 6.5 ft dig depth for ck20 size tractors . the boom is curved like the big cat backhoes realy cool looking rig.unfortunatly woods only make them in the smaller units so far. i think i will wait to buy one and see if they are going to make 7,8ft dig depth in the curved boom style. i am an equipment operator by trade and have run small 3 point backhoes had some problems on some with frame bolts loosening on tractor and sheard bolts.didnt have any major failures but it did show there is added stress to the machine.when i get my backhoe i will definitly get a sub frame. for the money and ease of hookup i dont want to take any chances on breaking my tractor.

Are you talking about the new Woods Groundbreaker BH6000 for SubCUTs? The CK20 is not a SubCUT. It is a small chassis CUT. The new Woods Groundbreaker hoes are real nice.

A three point on a CK20 is asking for trouble, and it would not be covered under warranty as Kioti expressly forbids coverage for them. John

I prefer a subframe mounted hoe. It spreads the digging stresses out so they are not nearly as apt to damage your tractor.

Woods does have a subframe for the BH6500 backhoe which is a four point mount system for the backhoe. I just received one in and installing it on a CK20.
