The Woods does come with a sub-frame mount - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Now that you have me thinking about stand-alone, I suppose you could adapt the sub-frame mount to just about anything if you have the clearance. The back of the subframe is a receiver that takes about 2" bar, and the front (I would guess about 4 feet in) takes about a 6" tip of the A-frame. Now if you had an old truck with good clearance (or a real low flatbed) you could probably rig it up just fine. I guess I would want a significant mass on the front as I really hate diving into holes that I'm workin on./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif I wonder what you would need for an engine to run the pump?
Oh yeah - here is the text of what I got back from Woods when I was looking:

Yes it will be a little slower. It would not be a big issue to add the pump
kit at a later time if you think the hoe is too slow going direct into
tractor hydraulics. I would just make the deal with a dealer with the option
to add the pump kit.
Thank you,

Thanks. I wouldn't consider a backhoe without a sub frame.
Am I correct in observing that the motion will be a tad slower for the 7.8
gpm rated internal hydraulics then the pto pump? I don't see that as too
much of an issue, but want to seriously consider the pump if it would make
a big difference in overall productivity.

This will work on the tractor you have specified with a subframe 1001199.
This must be attached using a subframe. Do not 3 pt mount. It will work from
the tractor hydraulics, it requires 9 - 12 GPM @ 2400 psi.
Thank you,
Kevin Smith

(message) I am considering a model 9000 backhoe for my new L3710. I would
prefer to use the internal hydraulics vs. the pto pump but don't see flow
specs on your website. Plnning on giong with the 18" bucket.
Info./suggestions/comments?

Good Luck!
