Hello,
I have a 770 and I am looking at putting a used #7 backhoe on it. The guy who had it has a 755. Does anyone know if the mounting kit from it will fit on to a 770?
Thanks in advance,
Bill
Thanks for the reply.
I talked to the local JD dealer they agreed with what you said. The also said the sub-frame would be around $1300 take 8-10 hours to add (seems like a long time) and I would also need the "power beyond" so all in all it would be >2500 to get the tractor set up to take the backhoe.
I am just not sure it is worth it to me. That backhoe is listed by a private seller for not much more then 2500......
Thanks again,
Bill
Thanks for the input. Yeah, I am sure there is no power beyond on my tractor right now.
I figured I could add the power beyond without that much trouble it was when the dealer service guy said the subframe took 8+ hours to install that scared me enough to consider I should not be doing it. Do you have break the tractor in 2 to put it on?
I do not know what would take 8 hours unless something like that had to be done to get the subframe installed????
If you are talking about the sub-frame............you do not need to "break the tractor in 2" to put it on. I had a JD 770 with a 70 FEL and 7 BH.......the process to take the backhoe on and off was about 15 minutes.
