Re: Need Backhoe Advice
The TC45 does not qualify as an older tractor, and it is not nessessary to remove the three point arms to install the subframe and backhoe.
Hopefully here is a link to the Woods installation manual:
http://www.woodsequipment.com/Manual...es/MAN0543.pdf
If the above link doesn't work just go to the Woods website.
I've helped install a number of Woods backhoes on TC Boomers and we've never removed the lift arms and they work fine.
That said, perhaps there is a reason your dealer did it differently.
In the interests of full disclosure, I am a "newbie" salesman with but 18mons on the job and NO prior tractor experience {there is a current thread on this board ripping dolts like me} but I am of the opinion that the best way to learn is to do, so I often assist in the assembly and installation of tractors and attachments I sell (got coveralls for Christmas from my parents for just that reason
)...

Re: Need Backhoe Advice
We have a 758C on our 2003 TC40D. We purchased the hoe back in Feb of 2003 for $6,200.00 not including tax. As said above, the 758C is easy to remove and install on the tractor and it's a one person job....once you get good at it, it takes about 5 minutes to take off and no more than 10 to get back on...your mileage might vary. We have used it for quite a bit of trenching and stump digging. Let us know if you have specific questions about the unit.

Re: Need Backhoe Advice
I have the new Woods BH-90X hoe on my TC55DA I purchase last fall. It's a work horse and much more powerful than the 80x that i had first purchased and took back after the first 10 minutes of use. Don't undersize your hoe for your tractor. I learned that quick. You'll be disappointed and it'll work like a tinker toy. My dealer also told me it was absolutely necessary to take the 3-point arms off so i've been doing it. I'm going to look and see if it's necessary, I just always did it to get them outta the way.
I agree with John, I have the PTO pump on mine even though I have 3 remotes on my tractor......the dealer suggested the pump and not to use the remotes......and I can't even tell when i turn the PTO on.....NO NOISE on this one yet anyway.....Personal opinion but I think the Woods is a better hoe than the NH......but I haven't actually used the NH.......I sure wouldn't hesitate competing against it though.NH TC55DA, EHSS, 4wd, 18LA FEL, Woods BH-90X BH, Toothbar, Forks, 3 Rear Remotes, Hyd Top Bar, 5' Rhino brush hog, Grapple, 6' Tiller.

Re: Need Backhoe Advice
Make sure the NH hoe has a power setting on the bucket like the Woods. It's just another pin hole that changes the leverage but It sure does work well for cutting through roots when digging stumps.

Re: Need Backhoe Advice
The 758C backhoe does not have a power setting, only one set of holes for pins. Bill C

Did you get the Woods installation manual as well as the Operator's manual? It may even be available online and should state exactly what you need to do with your 3-pt system. Mine was very clear, but then again it only covered TC35, 40 & 45 series tractors.NH TC40DA, 16LA w/Bull Grapple, Woods BH90-X & hyd ThumbLovin It!!

Re: Need Backhoe Advice
David,
I looked in the manual and it did only say remove the stabalizers where they hook to the tractor but that's all it said......wasn't real clear to remove the whole arms or not. So you remove the stabilizers completely....ie: at both ends where they hook to the arms and the tractor? If so, will the arms swing over and hit the tires or not???NH TC55DA, EHSS, 4wd, 18LA FEL, Woods BH-90X BH, Toothbar, Forks, 3 Rear Remotes, Hyd Top Bar, 5' Rhino brush hog, Grapple, 6' Tiller.
