Rich - Congratulations! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the HST transmission, too. Let us know how it works when you get the 4-in-1.

Del, you can can get an extending backhoe or telescopic hoe for a tractor that is frame or 3pt mounted. the rep tells me that a hydraulic thumb is in the works for the extendable unit but one is available now for the std hoe. Also available is a quick attach system for different buckets. A grapple can also be used. Hardy makes these units, a canadian manufacturer, I'm looking for the web address.

The Hardy Equipment Company is located in Canada - 100 Rue St-Arthur Portneuf-station, QC G0A 2Z0

Their phone # is - (418) 286-6621 My call was returned the next day, by someone who spoke English very well.

They do not have a web site, nor do they sell direct (only through dealers). I have a Hardy FEL, model ST85 installed on my Belarus 525 tractor. I just purchased their "material forks", which bolt on to the bucket, similar to the digging forks I have seen discussed in other forums. The dealer arranged to have them shipped directly, so I didn't have to travel the 75 miles to the dealer's location.

RonNY, As you have noted and i also found out that a web site does not exist which is to bad. They seem to make a quality product.

I know this is an old post but Helac has what you were looking for. Go to WWW.HELAC.COM. There are some real spiffy attachments on this site, it's worth a look!

Muhammad, I have an old Kubota brochure for the L4850 and it shows a Kubota extenda hoe on it. Rat...

Dozernut - Helac makes some really cool tilting 4-in-1 attachments for the backhoe, but I was looking for one for the FEL.

Re: 6-way 4-in-1\'s

Mark, I've only seen them in the 96" width, (or larger)at least I believe that is the width I've seen as it is pretty common. I see them on hoes sometimes but more commonly on loaders doing road work. Some even have an open end that allows dumping out the side of the bucket, the advantages on road work would be obvious. I remember the first time a guy used my tractor, he wanted to know how to tilt the front bucket. I thought he meant to dump the bucket, he wanted to conform to the land in front of him. There are times it would work really well. The bucket would get heavy as a result of all the extra steel, but the EF5 probably would fit this bucket really well. Good luck, I'll keep my eyes open, Rat..

Re: 6-way 4-in-1\'s

There is an attachment that hooks to a skid steer coupler and has a skid steer coupler on the front so you can hook onto a bucket.The attachment give you the ability to tilt the bucket(or whatever implement you put on) from corner to corner,the only disadvantage of this that I see is that it would put the load 6 to 12" beyond where it would normally be,but it wouldn't be a big deal if it were primarilly used for grading.I'm not sure who makes it but I saw a pic of it the other day and I thought it would be a good attachment to put on the goodie list.
