Backhoe Adapting three-point backhoe to Kioti subframe

[toukow]

This post will probably come across as vague and foolish, but I hope you will bear with me. I have a history of buying stuff, not dealing with it immediately, and when the time comes it won't work or is defective and already out of warranty. Granted, sounds like a personal problem, which it is. I don't see getting to this effort for a while. Anyway, all I'm asking for is a high-level input as to integrating the BMC three-point backhoe to the Kioti subframe. If it won't work, I want to cancel buying the subframe and sell the backhoe, and figure it out from there (rent, most likely).

I've purchased the new tractor Kioti CK2610HST and subframe, but they are yet to be delivered. One dealer stated it should be possible to build an adapter to couple the subframe to the backhoe. The white boxes drawn in the photo with the stick are to represent the dimensions requested in the other photo showing the Kioti subframe/backhoe, which the dealer provided. The horizontal dimensions are correct, the vertical are approximations of the box steel cross section. I hope to use the top link connection as well.

I have a Lincoln 175 Plus welder, horizontal cut-off bandsaw, and basic skills. I have a feeling the steel thickness needed for the adapter may exceed my welder's capabilities. If so, I'll have those parts welded by others.

I infer I'll have to cutoff the lifting eyes, and perhaps the three point mounting pins as well. One concern I have is noted in one of the photos. It is that the hydraulic piston mounting bracket prevents through bolting the adapter to the vertical steel plate as is done on the Kioti backhoe.

Question: Do you see issues from what you see that would prevent you from fabricating an adapter to make this work?

Thanks for any comments, Toukow

I have yet to find a backhoe in my (very cheap) price range or to extend my price range - so I have not yet tackled this project but I have done TONS of research. Hopefully some of it will be useful to you.

Also - if TBN member dfkrug should happen along and offer advice - take it. He is the official TBN king of custom subframes (as you may have guessed by his two posts linked above).

Good luck and please come back and share your experience with the rest of us.

Here is the one I did a while back, it’s still working out well. I think once you get the subframe and start mocking up you will come up with a game plan.

I had reviewed most of those, and very nice work by dfkrug, 1stDuece, and others . I figured I was ahead of the game compared to dfkrug's endeavors, given he does the whole affair, and I'm simply using a premade frame. I had seen dfkrug's comment on using the top link, which is why I noted using it as well. That said, I figured that each backhoe would be unique to a degree, and pose its own challenges. Figured why not ask if someone sees a roadblock to accomplishing this before taking delivery of the subframe. Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at the ones I had missed.

Thanks, nice work, and hopefully I'll have a 'vision' as to the best approach once I dig into it. I don't expect to do as nice of work as those mentioned in this thread, but hopefully can pull off something adequate. Thanks for the comments, Toukow
