Backhoe Backhoe frame for DF254G2?

Sweden-Art · Apr 11, 2009

Hello.

Doing some research before my order of a DF254G2 tractor.

Is there any frame type Backhoes available for this tractor? I m not interested in a Chinese BH . The LITW BH seems to just have the frame mount for the Jinma and TYM tractors.

Thank you!

PS: Maybe a 3pt BH is solid enough?

The factory backhoe is in a different class than other chinese backhoes, it comes with a subframe, nice smooth hydraulics. a little more expensive than the LW series (made by several different chinese companies). also Hanmey makes one that is pretty darn nice, and they make a subframe kit, would probably take some modifications, depending on which loader you order. Its not likely that any other hoe manufacturer has designed a subframe for this application, they are not complex however, you may be able to do your own or modify an available frame. The factory has told us a subframe is necessary, although I know of several DF and a lot of Jinmas running 3 point backhoe. In fact the 3 point is better than the subframe Jinma offered, at least a few years ago. (they needed serious reinforcement to prevent breaking off and falling into the hole you are digging.

Thank you for your reply Bluechip. Maybe i should order the frame only to the factory BH and hope i can modify it to fit LITW BH.

I will order the FEL-250, i think it's a Townsunny brand. Any advise about this loader? Is it any good?

Cheers!

What would be the wisest thing to do about the frame to BH? Order the factory frame for tractor and modify it to fit LITW bh? Or order the LITW frame mount for Jinma brand and modify it to fit the DF tractor?

Thanks

Answers may be slow in coming. I think you are in some uncharted territory. The backhoe subframe will have to be designed to work with the loader brackets. JInma's subframe, at least the ones I have seen, has a potential problem as it crates a "hinge point" directly under the belhousing. I think I would go 3 point before I tried this subframe. IF LITW makes a subframe, at least one end would match the backhoe and you could adapt it to the tractor. Another option would be to fab your own. The DF factory sent me a subframe for their backhoe, but it was really a 3 point backhoe with the subframe just supporting the weight. we added attachemtn points so the subframe would help anchor the hoe, it was not the best setup, but functional.
