Backhoe Backhoe for 2305?

[JohnnyTractor]

I'm interested in a backhoe for my 2305. Do they make 3pt units? I've seen the Woods BH6000 listed with a couple of 2305 owners, but not clear if those units are installed on the 2305 or not.

Anybody using a BH with a 2305 (or maybe a 2210)?

Do a search, rvtech is the first 2305/Woods BH that I know of, and he was due to get the brackets ...today. The Woods and Wallenstein units are all subframe mounts. I don't think the 3PH of this size tractor is capable of withstanding the forces a BH would add. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm anxiously awaiting my brackets for the Woods BH6000. They are suppose to be released today. I'm not quite clear on how they would be released on the holiday, but I really don't care as long as I get them soon.
There is a 2305 with the backhoe already on it from the bracket development. A dealer in Indiana had it in the showroom. I don't know if it sold yet.
I wanted the 4 point mounting for mine so I went with the Woods BH6000. Every dealer I questioned seemed to think I will be happy with it. You might look on Woods website as they have the manual in pdf that you can look through. The set up for the 2305 has a swivel seat bracket so there is only the original seat used unlike the 2210 which has an additional seat on it.
I''l post as soon as I have the backhoe installed. I have a variety of projects on a list for it. Right now we are experiencing bad weather so I may not be able to use it.

rv -
I got the idea for the BH from your sig. I checked out the woods website, but couldn't figure out how it would mount, or how to deal with the seating. Thanks for the input.

Now I'm almost as excited as you are to see it set up! I'm going to install some type of BH for sure, and am kinda glad you're breaking new territory! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'll be glad to post pics if I can figure out how. I've resized using Adobe Photoshop, but I still get an error that they're too large even though it shows the correct amount of pixels.
I have pics of the backhoe when it was delivered and I will take more during the install. I'll be stopping at my dealer tomorrow to put some pressure on for bracket delivery.
