L3710 and Woods9000 Backhoe - Adding a Thumb

[Woodsman603]

No the L47tlb ....The manual kit will work just run some lines and put a Hyd piston in .....Woods BH9?-X Backhoe Backhoe Attachment: 1?2?215 BH9?-X Thumb Kit Assembly Assembly Parts and Diagram

Ah. So that whole thing can come as a kit then?

I'm just lost as to where I'd tie into. Without any plug and play, hydraulics are totally not my wheelhouse.

I guessing they offer a valve kit for it ...

Woods shows it as a option for a hyd thumb, So call the dealer and ask them how much money .....

 

[Woodsman603]

mmk. shipped them an email. See what it would take/cost.

The Titan manual setup is going to be ~$300 which is fine. If I'm going to be creeping over $1000 on this, I'll probably just stick with the manual. We'll see.

 

[Peter 315]

Over 1k easy.......

You can do it yourself not to hard........

I'm fine with the welding. But I cannot explain how terrible I am at hydraulics. I get so lost. I've had my attempts a few times and its only miserably. The worst was setting up full hydro in a custom 4x4 buggy. I lost my shirt trying to figure all that crap out. The Third Function from EA was great though. Just plug an play.

I'm going to see what those two places have to say. I have a rising suspicion I'll be going with a manual though. Which, I guess, is better than nothing.

 

[Peter 315]

I don't think you have to weld the brackets should be on the hoe already....

 

[Peter 315]

If its older it might not have the brackets.....
