Kabota L3130
I have a Kubota L3130 with a LA513 loader. I want to buy a Taylor/Way 766 backhoe attachment. I also want to install a subframe to attach to the backhoe for strength. I called Kubota and they couldn't help. They wanted me to change the Loader to a LA723 and buy the BH90 backhoe and the Kubota subframe. I was woundering if I could add/weld to the LA513 subframe and connect to the Taylor/Way backhoe. I not up on tractors and backhoes so any help would be appreciated? :confused:

I don't see why not. Can you post some pictures of your current subframe.
Is this the BH you are talking about?

Shaley...love that signature line. My wife knows what I paid for the tractor, but I continue to sneak in implements under the radar. She will see me with some new thing attached and say...

"when did you get that?"
"what?"
"that thing on the back of the tractor?"
"what thing?"
"that thing right there."
"Oh that...umm...I picked it up somewhere last year."
Eyebrows raise....head shakes...turns and returns to house.
I smile and return to the barn.

I bought that identical backhoe last summer for my JD and I am quite satisfied with it. I've used it to dig 150' trench for my front gate's automatic opener. The soil here is nothing but river rocks with a hand full of dirt. It took me about 4 hours to dig...allowing familiarizing myself with the operating the joy sticks.
Since the trench, I've dugged holes for several fruit trees and took a section out of a hillside for addtional parking. It's a great backhoe for the price.
Now I need to find time to fabricate a subframe before next spring.

Where did you buy your taylor/Way backhoe. I found one on e-bay and it will need to come form KY. It looks like it will be a around $900.00 shipping cost. Would like to find one on the west coast if possible.

No, they only make the 3 point hitch connection. They only sell the BH and they are not corcrened on what type tractor you attach it too.

Dillo, Try this one... "Oh that, the guy threw that in with the tractor. It's just been out back..."

I see now how taylor way sets up the mounting geometry. There is no flat surface at the top for brackets.
When I bought my Woods it came with a 3 pt mount but that soon began to destroy my hitch so I built a subframe. You can see there is a flat upright to attach to. In your case I guess you can duplicate the geometry of the 3PH with a ridgid frame.
