I'd try to find what Bradco recommends for hydraulic pump flow requirements;early 3054's didn't have much in the way of pump capacity, less than 9 GPM I think. My '04 only has 10 GPM. The mechanical aspect of the tractor can support it, IMO, but I question the pump capacity

Well, thats about half again the weight of a 2375, which is on mine. I've yanked pretty hard on some oak stumps and haven't hurt or broken anything, but that 9 footer, with a seperate PTO pump might just put a fatal strain on it. However, you'll be aware of what's on it, soooo

Well the post states it's a LK5034 unless this is a gray market Kioti to my knowledge never made a 5034.
Is it a 3054?
If that hoe is a 9 foot hoe, I would NOT even think about putting that size hoe on it.

LK3054???
Make sure it's subframe mounted. That's a lot of backhoe to hang on the 3-point hitch of a 3054. We saw a 3054 that had a woods 3-point backhoe on it and there were some signs of distress at the Bell housing and mid case. The subframe eliminates the transmission case from stressing under the weight and activity of the backhoe.

First, I'm thinking your front wheels would be off the ground, just too heavy.
As far as stress, a hoe that big will throw your machine around like a rag doll.
I'd stick with the hoe purpose built for the machine (7.5 foot).
I have to say, i really like my 2376 with single lever attach. Mounts nice high and tight to the machine, perfect weight for the machine, really nice fit.
