Backhoe Prairie dog 7.5 on 8560 Mahindra

[nod]

I need a backhoe for odd digging jobs, beaver dams, stumps and whatnot. I've been pricing some and all the dealers tell me that I need one to match my tractor. I don't need a giant backhoe and was wondering if I would run into problems using the pd 7.5 on the 8560? Thanks for any help or info.

The Praire Dog is a quick little hoe if you get their pump with it. It certainly won't hurt your tractor. I had one but sold it for one that digs deeper and reaches farther, a Bush Hog model. It is worth it to get a quality unit of the size that suits your tractor. They do make a 10' model......

Ok thanks, I can't find a good deal on any backhoe but the pd. It had good reviews but i think the company might be closing? A lot of company's are closing so I don't know?

The Praire Dog backhoes are no longer made, but the company (Steiner Tractor in Lennon, MI) is still in business.

Here is the 7.5 unit on a Case 480LL category 2 3-point hitch, using the
tractor's hydraulics.
