Hi Everyone had an idea and was wondering if anyone has done anything like this, I have a kioti ck27 and have just acquired a small backhoe attachment (MF CB05) and was thinking of mounting it on a quick attach plate for the loader rather than trying to design/build a subframe plus it would make it easier to take off. The hoe is a little small for the tractor but the price was dirt cheap so couldn't pass it up and it should do what I want around the yard. Any pro's, con's thoughts, ideas would be appreciated. thanks

I think you'll damage if not destroy your loader with the forces produced by the backhoe attachment
If you attach it to the loader, you won't have a backhoe. 
The backhoe may have enough strength and leverage to mess up the loader frame.
I would be more likely to put in on a small, strong trailer, like the little towable backhoes, but sturdier.

I know Bobcat make a model 607 and 709 for their skidsteers but the skidsteer loaders are much more beefy than on a CUT. I think the trailer would be the ultimate. That way it could be towed anywhere.

It’s a terrible idea. Even most skid steer backhoes which have much beefier loaders have brackets welded onto the machine body.

Yes but the backhoe's on the Bobcat machines are also chained to the arms because they had an issue with the quick attach failing and they are also secured to frame mounts on the properly specified skid-steer or I guess CTL. My friend had one and said it was a pain in the butt as you'd have to jump off that seat to advance your trench or reposition the machine.
