Backhoe Backhoe help needed

SgtRock · Jul 15, 2010

I have a Mitsubishi S470D with the 3 cyl diesel engine and i am looking for a small backhoe that will fit this tractor. Can anyone help me with some leads as to what type and size is best? I just ordered the manuals for it and wont receive them for about two weeks. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:thumbsup:

Well, here's the first thing that popped up in a Bing search:

Kelley Manufacturing Corporation

Don't know anything about Kelley, but maybe it will get you started.

Been there done that. Small used backhoe hoes that are in good shape, not on a machine at a fair price are as rare as hens teeth. But I did find one, or you have to buy new. I suggest that you do not buy too large a hoe for a smaller machine or you will be very light on the front end. With a smaller hoe you only have to move your dig postion a bit more , not worry about snapping your machine in half, and you can drive to locations with all 4 wheels on the ground.
