3-Point Hitch 3 Point Back Hoe Attachment DK35

[jebb]

I am considering purchasing a 3 Point Back Hoe attachment for my DK35. I have heard negative and positive comments about this, due to frame twisting and severe damage to the tractor. Any actual hands on recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

.....actual hands on recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Adapt whatever hoe you buy to a subframe for the Kioti. The DK35
is a very stout tractor and a subframe from Kioti can be used or you can
have a custom one made. I prefer custom subframes myself. The
turnkey solution is buying the 2375 or 2385 and the Kioti subframe.
You could also go with the new curvy-boom hoes like the 2475.

three point puts nasty torque on the tractor, must rigid mount onto tractor and rely on tractor frame for strength, not worth messing up a good tractor. In addition, would expect savings to be minimal.

we have a dk35 subframe left over......make you a great deal.pm us.
can also do you a complete hoe.
Dont use three points on tractors this size.

I agree with the others. Get a subframe !!

I second what the others have advised; get a subframe mount. I have a KB2375 on my CK30hst. I have had no problems at all and I have worked the bh pretty hard. On several occasions, maybe to hard. I have drug the tractor around with the bh.
A friend had a 3pt bh on his approx. 30hp international and broke a few things. It's a lot more stress than what the 3pt normally is for.

There are some deals out there on 3pt hoes. If the price is really right and you can get a subframe for a song (I did), its not too bad to adapt. I used my 3pt hoe before I adapted it to my subframe, big difference in how solid it feels. Mounts easier too.

avoid 3pt mounting of backhoe, Subframe / rigid mount is the only way to keep your tractor from possibly having issues down the road. 3pt hoes put alot of stress on the tractor frames.
