Backhoe backhoe for MF1533?

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I had enough ports to run a power beyond kit since it's already plumbed for the rear remotes but it sounds like it should work ok.

Yes, you can hook-up a power beyond kit in addition to the rear remotes.
You can actually have more hydraulic outlets on your 1533 than on either of the two last series of tractors in that size.

Thanks for the info everyone. I placed an order today for a Woods BH-80x for my 1533.

WHOA there Good Buddy!!! You gather all this info and you have neglected to share with us the price you were quoted for the BH...

We/ I am interested in any options available for future considerations..

Thanks and of course pics are required when BH is installed.

JC, you wont be disappointed I run a 1533 with the BH-80X and it has plenty of power. I usually run the tractor at 2200 rpm or so maximum and that is plenty for fast digging. I generally use a 16" bucket but recently have been using the 9" for some ditching. If I had to choose just one of the two I would definitely go with the 16".

I paid 6k for mine installed with the power beyond included. However, I bought the tractor at the sametime so that may have kept the price lower. I paid 19200 for the tractor with FEL, 2200 for a woods PRD84", 824 for a 72" woods box blade..... I was just looking at my receipt the other day.. and I know everyone loves pricing info.... this was back in March of 07 btw..

Good luck with the hoe... and putting it on and taking it off gets easier and easier each time you do it... so be patient with it at first. Also if you don't have a flexible line for your grease gun go ahead and pick one up because youll need it... the zerks are hidden all over the BH-80X.

Have fun!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting it. I paid $6150.00. That price was for the backhoe, subframe and a 16" bucket. I may add another bucket in the future. I'm going to pick it up from the dealer when he receives it from woods and do the installation myself. Some people said I should run it off one of my rear remotes and tie the control lever back to keep it open but I'm planning on getting the power beyond kit that AGCO has out for the 1533. John

One other thing. The Woods rep for this area told me that on orders placed after July 1st they will have a 6% price increase in effect. So if anyone is considering purchasing something in the near future if you can order now it will save you a little money.

I ended up going back to the dealer and having him get me a Woods hose kit (power beyond for the tractor and hoses for the backhoe) That added $150.00. So for $6300.00 I got the BH-80X backhoe, 1533/1540 subframe, 16" bucket, and the hose kit.

JC, That seems like a great price to me... Thanks for sharing the info & good luck with your own backhoe...
