I have a Kubota 5100 ( 50hp and about 46 at the PTO. ) I am looking at buying a backhoe attachment in the near future and I have a few questions.
I am pretty sure that I want one with a subframe So, I'm guessing you can get the subframe for your specific tractor and most backhoes will hook up to this subframe?. But, if the backhoe did NOT have a subframe, wouldn't the stabilizer bars take most of the weight and the digging pressure when using the backhoe? So, the only time there is alot of weight on the 3 pt. would be when moving the tractor wiht the hoe hanging off the back of the tractor?
Also, I don't have any rear remotes so obviously I would need a backhoe attachment with a self contained hydro system ( PTO pump) Is there any certain pump size that works better than others... etc...? Thanks
