Hi Everyone,
I am looking into purchasing a backhoe for my TC24DA and just have a couple questions My wife said to go for it, so I better do it while the chance is available!!!!
With a sub-frame installed for say the 756C, do you leave the sub-frame on all the time?
What is the clearance like with the sub-frame installed?
Do you leave the lower arms on the 3pth installed or do you remove them?
Anyone have any good pics I could see?
Right now, I am looking at a Tifermec Green Series B15 as our local New Holland Dealer has on on the lot. It comes with a pump and built-in hydraulic reservoir, sub-frame and the price is great as well. Looks like a really good unit and our dealer is impressed by them. It is imported from Italy and they are trying to get into the market in our area, so they are really motivated which is great for me.
Problem I am running into and I am not sure if there is a misunderstanding here as the dealer is talking to his supplier and something might be getting lost in the translation of things here ;-) . From what I can tell at the moment and hoping to clarify this tomorrow is that it sounds like I need to remove the lower arms on the 3pth, install the sub-frame and then attach the backhoe. Then need to reverse this process when I want to use my rfm. Sounds like a lot of work and hoping this is not the case.
Yeah yeah, I know some would say rent a mini-excavator, but I priced them out and with the jobs my wife would like to get done around here, it would not take that many rentals before I could have bought one of these, so it just makes more sense to buy it and have it handy
Best Wishes,
Chuck
p.s. I know I have not posted much since I bought this tractor a year ago, shame on me . I have put on 181 hours in the last year, blew tons of snow (that was a lot of fun but I need a soft cab this winter), moved lots of dirt, dug out huge rocks, put a hole in the ground for a kids playground (wife said I did it because I could lol lol ) and just had a lot of fun with this unit. I promise to get the pics up soon to share. Right now I am just trying to figure out how to get this darn 70 tree dismantled and pulled up the riverbank ;-)
