Woods BH6000 for B2410/B7610/B7510

I should , and will, contact Woods with this question but I figured its the weekend and you guys are here to talk tractor so here it is.
First off, does woods make a four point subframe kit for these tractors similar to the one for the BX models?
Does the BH6000 sit in nice and close and use the swivel seat design for the B series application (again similar to the BX design) or do they utilize a seperate seat like they do on their bigger hoes?

I talked to a guy at a Tractor show about the combination. I seem to remember there is a subframe, but not the same sub frame as the BX. He couldn't answer if it would be compatable with the MMM.

It used the same seat, so it was in close to the tractor. It looked pretty neat. The rep said they were releasing mounts for the different tractors so quickly he couldn't keep track of which one was which.

Let us know what you find out. Its on my list, just pretty far down.

I sent an email off to Woods this morning asking them about the mount type but havent received a reply yet.
Judging from the info Ive gotten off their website, it looks like the BH6000 uses the same type of 4 point mount on the B series that is used on the BX series but the BH6000 on the B series has its own seat, not the swivel seat design of the BX.
The difference between the two setups is in the mounting brackets that bolt to the BH frame. They are much longer on the B series than on the BXs to allow room for the extra BH seat. Bummer, the swivel seat design is pretty slick because the BH can really be tucked in tight.
The good news is that it says that the subframe is compatible with the OEM loader, Woods loader, OEM mmm and Woods mmm.
Maybe Ill have more info when they return my email.

I have a B7300 with a Woods 6500 BH. It has the 4pt subframe which I think is imperative for a smaller tractor. Mine has its own seat which backs right up to the tractor's seat. The BH does stick out on the back end pretty far because of the seat but it works pretty well. I can take a picture for you but it is dark now - send me a PM if you want one.

Let us know what Woods has to say about the BH6000 for the B-series, I have a B7510 coming and I bought this tractor specifically because of the BX warranty issues with an after market BH (and ground clearance problems).

There is no subframe, but there is a 3pt mount available. Normaly I would say never 3pt mount a backhoe, but I am skeptical if a BH6000 could hurt a B-series tractor. Why would you not get a BH6500? There is not much of a price difference and its much more capeable.
