Backhoe 448 Backhoe bucket options & quick attach

[mdmjrm]

I ran on to a 448 Backhoe with mounts that was like new for my 3320 last fall. I use it for general maintenance around my 20 acre home. The hoe came with an 18" digging bucket.

1. Has anyone seen a quick attach kit for the buckets like I've seen on a lot of mini excavators? I would like to install one on my 448 if I'm using multiple buckets.

2. If no quick attach, I would like to find a 36 or 48" ditching bucket for it. Does anyone know where to find buckets for the 448 or if the 448 buckets interchange with anything else in the industry?

Appreciate everyone's help.

Thank you.

I've just recently picked up a used 3039R and I'm going to be in the search for a backhoe. My current JD 770 with Woods BH7500 lacks the oomph to break bigger roots, and sometimes getting all the teeth into really rocky soil isn't what I'd like, so I'm hoping to come up with a quick attach option too, so I can go between a bucket or ripper tooth with ease. I'm in the same search, and I just came across this post. You may have seen it, but if not, maybe it'll give you some other search avenues toward keyword searches:

In that link there are some pics of a homemade setup - also this link to a Kubota BX accessory:

I can't go with the 448 / 485 on my tractor - I'd have to go to the 447 / 375, but I believe that the Woods BH80X is an option, and it should be a better powered option. I'm going to keep looking for a bolt on option for Deere too - in case I end up finding too good of a deal on the smaller hoe.
