kioti HST, cab & backhoe

[charleyfarmall]

Getting the Kioti backhoe is a good option. The mount is much more solid than a 3pt. I would have gone this way if I didn't already have a 3pt backhoe when I bought my kioti. A frame mounted hoe is always going to be more solid.

Thanks for the responses. I like the woods backhoe, and the way it connects, but am told there isn't a frame for the kioti cab tractor. I am concerned about the long frame of the kioti when it is off the tractor.

I have a Rhino backhoe.
The subframe is very similar to the Kioti subframe setup.
Backhoe goes on/off fairly quick and easy.
Subframe does use up a lot of space when off the tractor.
My subframe works fine but I do like the 4 point type subframes a lot better.

Ditto the earlier comment about easy on off. I can take the BH off my CK30 or put it on in just a few minutes. It's a breeze. The BH is also handy as heck and I am thrilled I got it.

There is a member called "Mousefield" who has a woods BH on a CK30 I think. Search for his posts and you will find pictures.

The BH also makes great rear ballast when I'm moving round bales too.

jimmyj, how about some photos of you moving round bales with your CK? I'd like to see that.

Ok will do

I had some HUGE ones last year so the ones I show you will be smaller. The tractor works great for moving large square bales too.

The one thing with really big bales is I can't really see past the bale so it's a bit of a challenge to see where I'm going!

Here are some pictures. I have a 2008 CK35 HST with the Woods BH-70X backhoe. Must say the thumb is very useful. The tractor came with the backhoe on it and took me a few months to get to the point of taking it off. Have had it on and off probably 15 times now. Only a couple of times did it take longer than about 10 minutes, once took me about 30 minutes, guess I was having a bad day. Going to use the backhoe today at the neighbors to dig out a couple of trees. Nice sunny day today but looking wet for the next few.

Woods doesn't have the subframe for a Cab kioti, they have them for non cab.
Today I saw the news from Wallace, who I would have bought from, so it's kind of a moot point now.
