You might keep your eye out for a Model 49 hoe as well. They're a larger framed hoe with additional capacity than the 48 hoe and they'll fit a 5000 series tractor very well.

I've got one that is hardly ever used. I tell people, it's the loneliest ho in town :laughing:
But it's not for sale either.
The few times I have used it, I was impressed with how capable it was.

Will a 49 fit a 5085M, or would the 595 be better suited?
I've been looking for a used 595, but they are hard to come by it would seem, where the 49 is much more common.

Jearl I stumbled on a JD #48 backhoe on Craigslist in the State of Rhode Island. Supposed to be in mint condition for $3,500 offers considered.
Sounds like a great price. 4 pictures to view.
Ad states fits 4200, 4700, 5105,5205,5200, 5500,5210,5510

If the ad is legit, that is a tremendous bargain!
I would be extra cautious in dealing through Craigslist, but I would check it out.

Yep... it'll fit those tractor models.. if you have the correct mounting brackets! That can be a serious "wrinkle"!
If the ad is legit - ask what tractor the hoe was mounted on previously.

The 49 is an older model backhoe - like the 48 - with a straight boom. The 595 has the curved "banana" boom.
The M series has the electro-hydraulic 3pt with twin, rear mounted lift cylinders. As such, the older mounting brackets for the 49 - 5000 series - might not match up.
I'd do lot's of research before I'd commit to that buy...
