Can anyone tell me if a John Deere 8A backhoe attachment
will work on my Kubota BX2200? Not sure how many horses are needed to power this and will its subframe mount bolt up with the proper brackets?

Ain't happening... I wouldn't try it even it I could get it mounted.
The weight of the hoe would overload the tractor and the power of the hoe would toss it around quite a bit.

That's an 8ft. hoe designed for a 30-35hp tractor.

Thanks Scott.

The seller didn't offer much info other than it could bolt to others with the proper brackets. I'll heed your advice.

Any hoe recommendations for the BX? I recently purchased my BX, downsized from my IH 424.

I find myself very uneasy on the same terrain I previously ventured with the IH, the shorter wheel base makes it seem like it will tip in an instant. I certainly don't want to make it worse with an inappropriately sized attachment.

I believe Woods is making a small one for the subcompacts. I havn't read much on it lately. There's always trading for the other Kubota model the BX23 (??) I think it is...
I dunno how much the loss would be on trading up.
