What about a skidsteer backhoe on a tractor?

Sorry i almost forgot about getting some pics. These are how they mounted the subframe to the backhoe. It has two brackets that bolted to the rear axles that the pins on the subframe slid into then the front was held in place by two bolts.

I'll look and see if I had taken any attached, I don't have the tractor anymore, but kept the backhoe to install on the new tractor.

I had a Case 1845C with a Case D125 backhoe attachment I sold to buy the Ford 4630. No way would I try to mount that backhoe on the front of a tractor. It was heavy and had 2 bars that "strapped" it to the machine to keep it from moving. It also had 2 outriggers mounted to the backhoe and you really had to jack the machine up to not drag it around while hoeing. I rarely used the backhoe for much more than burying a cow or dog. It was to much hassle to dig a ditch with having to get off the backhoe to back the machine up or pull forward. If you wouldn't use one much it would be easier to just rent a machine or hire someone to do your digging. That way you wouldn't have to keep it up. Seamed like every other time i used it I busted a line or a cylinder packing came out from lack of use. Don't get me wrong, they have their place but on the front of a tractor isn't it.

not trying to take over the thread but in my case the intention is mounting on the back...

I had bought this backhoe for a skid steer last year. Sold SS and kept for my B2650 Kubota with front hydraulics added. Had offered to sell it for $1500 but mostly decided to keep it. I have one, used it and like it which is my input from actual experience but there are some cautions.

I did sell that front Backhoe for around $1300. Later bought a L3901 and bought another one and since traded the L3901 to a MX5400 and still have the front backhoe but have not mounted it to MX5400 yet to test performance. I had some fitment issues with the "New" front backhoe popping off one corner until I added a piece of steel to the catch point to make it tight enough to keep it on the SSQA attaching plates. Will need to hook it to MX and see how well it does.

I've got an m5-111 and honestly think a fixed arm skid steer loader backhoe like this might be quite useful to me. I've got the la1854 loader so it's fairly stout.

I think it works for what it is made for but just don't extend the FEL cylinder arms to far like I did on B2650 when I stood the arm almost straight up so I could see better and had the cylinders all the way extended and bent them. Keeping tractor FEL arms down and extending the bucket and curling the front backhoe bucket should work fine on a solid tractor.
