Arrived! 2210 Backhoe

Scrounger · Feb 1, 2005

That's pretty much BS, no manufacturer can void the warranty for any aftermarket part that is added unless it is proven that the item caused the damage. Same as a super charger on a new truck I had. The dealer said it would blow the warrnaty. He changed his mind when I showed him the legal argument behind it. The Whipple Supercharger site has all the details on it.

What happens to the Woods seat when you need the tractors seat? Does it just flip back over and it just hangs around? Or does it get removed.

Looks like a strange set up if it stays with the tractors.

You should check with Woods for your specific machine. Seems they've come up with different setups for the different brands.

For example, on the Case/New Holland sub cuts, we get a swivel bracket to install between the factory seat and the slide track, to turn the factory seat around for backhoe use. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

We just received our first Woods 6000 Backhoe for the Case Ih Sub-compacts! We are going to mount it on Saturday. It looks awesome on the ground, can't wait to see it on the tractor.

I just looked at the Woods install for the BH6000 and the Kubota gets the swivel seat too. I think I might do the install myself and not have the dealer do ti. I'm no expert, but it looks like if you take you time you can accomplish it without killing yourself or the tractor.

Ooh!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Post lots of pics, Bob! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I've been dying to see what it looks like on my tractor. Feel free to email me pics, too. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Now, how to convince my wife that I need the backhoe when I have the use of my neighbor's BX22 whenever I want. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif What's more, I'm typing this while she's standing right behind me, and she has no idea what I'm doing! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I like living on the edge. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yea, I'd love to have one too. My neighbor was going to get one for his 2210, but they were'nt available soon enough. He ended up buying a mini excavator instead. Between that and another neighbor who has a BX22 I think I'm covered. That still doesn't mean I don't want one. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Scrounger,
The seat is removed from the tractor. The frame on the seat itself has two pins that slide through two holes in the seat support that is attached to the tractor. See attached photo.

So if you have to drive into the woods to your digging site you have two seats with you then right? Thats what I was trying to figure out. I know on the Kubota kit the seat will swivel.

Overall so far, how bad has the install been. I never knew they'd let the consumer install. I thought it was a dealer only install.
