3pt backhoe conversion to 4pt

[Ihatethewinter]

i'm eyeballing a woodmaxx 6600 backhoe for my b2920. the only problem is the 3pt attachment. so my question is has anyone used the kubota mount for a bh65 to attach other brands of backhoes? the one problem i see could be the use of the pto pump that woodmaxx uses. i looked at ansung bh65 but the digging capabilities seem to be a lot less than the woodmaxx. i can get the ansung installed for $5500 from the dealer with the 4pt mount. i can get the woodmaxx for $4250 delivered to my door. the way i look at it is if i go with the woodmaxx i'm getting a stronger bh and i can always mount it on a 4pt system.

What about powering the bh off the tractor?

Looking at the factory mounts there should be room to run a pump off the pto, would probably just have to push the BH out a little for clearance.

I made my own BH on my B2620, it uses a subframe similar to the factory one. I run mine off the tractor hyd. for simplicity and to keep the BH tucked up to the tractor as close as possible.

Picture of my subframe with the bh off, still needs paint.

would love to see some pictures of your backhoe. (it would be great if they were resized)

Theres a video on youtube, just search under TooManyGT. There's also a few pics on MTF and some in the backhoe thread here. Can't post pics right now for some reason.

I've made a few adjustments since the video so it runs smoother, plus that was only the second time using it. Hope to finish the thumb and paint it this year.
