Backhoe 3pt woods Bh80X backhoe on Kubota L3830

[Foxl3830]

Well finally bought a used woods BH80X backhoe actually have had it for about 3wks. it came with a 3pt hitch hook up and a Pto pump which I did want the pto pump my tractor is HST and I wish not to mix oils. And before you all jump me about the 3PT hook up I haven't even dug with it yet and I got such a decent fair deal I ordered a subframe for it. I was actually looking for Kubota bh 90 or newer 92 used for the last 3yrs or a woods Bh90 but after all this time I found this one. I do have it mounted on the tractor everything seems to work good just haven't dug hard with it till I get the subframe here just dug into pile of limestone chips I have stored for my drive. My daughter and I cleaned and touched up paint I'll try to post some picks. Any thoughts or concerns are appreciated! Its killing me not to use it have a new attachement and can't use! From everyone I've talked to wait for subframe. My local woods dealer saying 4 to 6 weeks to get I didn't realize they actually build them and machine them one at a time for older machines my Kubota is 2005 I'm thrilled I can still get a subframe they are priceee ! And anyone ever install a woods subframe doesn't look to bad dealer Says they come with detailed instructions! We'll see. I do a lot of 3pt work with my tractor I'm hoping the 4pt subframe hook up is easier than the 3pt? The 3pt was terrible to hook up on my Kubota. Does anyone know if you leave 3pt arms on with the subframe on and backhoe on? I know the Kubota hook up you must remove the 3pt arms? Ok all replies welcomed!

Woods instructions have a good level of detail and are better than average within the industry. I can’t answer your question about the 3pt linkage.

yes here is pic only one I have of backhoe before we power washed and prep for paint my daughter helped a lot with taping decals and painting! We have bought a lot of attachements and restored them to near or better than they looked new! Ok thanks can't wait for subframe any one have any more answers to my questions from above I'd be happy to here. Also anyone ever put woods subframe on themselves have any pointers. I'm fairly good at working on stuff myself. It's a shame I tried to get dealer to send me directions before I get subframe so I could kinda prepare my self and tools I need! kinda scares me like they don't want me to have directions before hand afraid I might not buy subframe. I've tried looking on you tube for woods subframe install on any Kubota couldn't find any ok thanks for looking.

Amazing what a little bit a paint does to an implement.

Nice backhoe , but if it was me I would have gone for the bh92 hoe. Just me.

Just use it as is if you want. there are many 3pt bachoes in use the world over on a daily basis. Just know it's limitations.

If you have the Woods subframe kit number you might be able to download the manual from Woods website.
