Backhoe New Backhoe

[shvl73]

I finally bought my own hoe. Tommy at Affordable was great to deal with.
I received it last week and was waiting for some good weather to try it out. It digs impressively. Fit and finish is excellent. This morning I took it out into the field to bury some rocks I always seem to find with my cutter. One scoop and they were out! This is fun!
It's a three point mount that I will be converting to subframe mount. I have the Mahindra/Bradco subframe installed on the tractor. It doesn't look like it will be too difficult to do. I will probably rough it out and tack it together, then have a real welder do the critical welds.
So far though, I'm comfortable with the 3pt mount, as the subframe stiffens the tractor quite a bit. I'll just go easy to avoid toplink bracket problems.
Many thanks to Affordable Tractor! I love it!

I suspect you'll be getting more, they're a real nice unit. I was looking for holes to dig, the excitement hasn't worn off yet!

That hoe looks to me to be an American made Bradco. Is Mahindra into Korean made hoe's now?

I looked at the Bradco 3375 but, this one had stronger digging specs. I also wanted the pto pump, I wasn't very confident of my ability to plumb into the tractor. All told, this was a better value to me. The advantage the Bradco had was it would bolt right on to my sub frame, this one will need an adapter made up. It doesn't look to difficult to do.
