When I bought my JD790, I didn't think I would need a backhoe, but sure enough, a few jobs have come along that have me reconsidering. I have an opportunity to get a used Jinma BH at a pretty good price, but have a few questions that maybe somebody can answer:
1) JD strongly recomends agaisnt a 3pt mounted backhoe as being too hard on the tractor, strong recomending a frame mounted BH. The Jinma backhoe has a frame mounting for their tractor, but I don't know how easy it would be to adapt it to the JD790. Any ideas or experience with this?
2) Similarly, the Jinma has its own hydraulic pump that I think is designed to run off of the Jinma pto, but I'm told that for some reason it won't work with other PTOs. Any idea why, or how difficult it could be to adapt it to my PTO?
I would not use this a great deal, but there are just a few jobs that would be a lot easier.
I know that to a large degree you get what you pay for, and other brands may be higher quality, but I think my needs are modest and I can get the Jinma for about 1/3 or 1/2 the cost of any other brand. Its probably this or nothing. I have been pretty happy with my Jinma brush chipper.
