Jesse, I replied to your earlier post. However I would suggest that you clarify which DK45 you have as the subframe will be different for the 1) early DK45 made before 2007, 2) the DK45s made until ?2008 or 2009 or 3) the new and current DK45se made since 2007.

Each company will have the same basic BH for these models but each will have a different subframe.

As noted in my earlier post, Kioti BH's are made in Korea and are excellent. They have an attached subframe which is much bulkier than that of some other manufacturers but it can be an advantage when mounting to the tractor. Doesn't make a significant impact on ground clearance.

Rhino, Woods, Bradco all make fine sturdy backhoes too. I would imagine you will want a 9ft BH with your size tractor. Make sure you get one with a subframe as 3PT backhoes can be tough on tractors if used for anything that bounces you around. Most digging will bounce you around unless you are literally just moving piles of sand or something like that.

Compare the Rhino 95C to the Woods BH90x and the Kioti BH2485. The Rhino and Woods are true 9ft BHs the Kioti is 8.5. All very capable. Check out pricing and features (eg Woods can be had with factory thumb if that is important to you, the others can have them added after market). Also, Bobcat tractor dealers sell a Bobcat branded version of the Rhino so you might check on their pricing if you can stand the thought of a white backhoe.

Whatever you get, get a thumb with it, preferably hydraulic. If you doubt the need try picking up things without YOUR thumb.
