Backhoe Can I run a backhoe mounted to the loader arms?

$8k. So, roughly half the price of a 9' Woods or JD backhoe.

That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? I don't disagree with your concept, but I don't see many Woods BH90X's going for $16K, either. I paid $3600 for a BH80X new, unused, at auction last December. Now I don't have a tired old dog of a TLB to wrench on before I want to dig. But then, I wrench on other people's tired old dogs all day anyway. To the OP, I'd buy the 9000 and the proper subframe kit and be happy.

Not a huge stretch.. It may have been 13-14K but it was in the teens. There is a HUGE difference in capability and PRICE between the 8 and 9 foot hoes. The appearance is only slight, but they are very different.

So it was the cost of the hoe, the adapter kit, installation of said kit, taxes and what not.. I was looking at not a penny less than $13k. I don't recall the numbers any more.. but it was very steep.
