Hello All,
Okay, got some good leads on either Mahindra 3550 or Branson 5220. BUT, I want a good strong backhoe to go with it. I am seriously looking at the Mahindra 75B, if I can find one for sale, or the Branson BH860 with the same deal. I know the Branson backhoe is available new. But the Bradco 509 is stronger and has better power numbers on paper. I would rather get the Bradco. So....
Can I get the tractor specific sub-frame and adapt it to the Bradco 509? I'm not sure how the backhoe mounts to the frames but I am really confident I can adapt it to either tractor. I am a good fabricator with decent welding skills. So that's not a problem.
I just don't know how the two marry to each other.
Thanks, B.
