Backhoe Backhoe compatibility

ChrisJ · May 4, 2004

Does anyone know of a site that lists which backhoes are compatible with certain tractors. I'm interested in looking fora a backhoe, but I'm not sure about compatibility. I'm sure that a subframe will fit only certain tractors(or maybe I'm wrong). The MF website shows me which MF backhoe works, but I am probably going to buy a used one and want to know which aftermarket backhoes are compatible. I usually browse through the local farmers adds and flyers and would like to be able to know if a unit will work with my MF 1428V.

Thanks
CJ

Is it possible to look up ATI who owns Bradco and maybe Woods, Koyker and other brands right on their web site and see what they have available?

The backhoe units themselves are pretty much generic - same design fits many different brands of tractors - and it's the subframe that's custom engineered to fit with each model of tractor. The major manufacturers (Woods, Bradco, Bush Hog, etc.) seem to be pretty quick to design subframes for the popular tractor brands so they can sell their products. You should probably find several choices available for your Massey.
