Best sized NH backhoe for TC34DA

[Big Horn]

Don't make the mistake I did. Last year I had the 756C backhoe on a TC30. I bought the TC34DA and the new 930GH in March this year and the difference is night and day. The 756 had very little leg room and would never reach what I wanted it to do. I love the new design of the 930GH and the hoe has plenty of power. It will lift your tractor and even give you a thrill on occasion. I wouldn't trade my new combination for anything. I use my tractor at my cabin property and it is the right size to get around the forest yet powerful enough to tear up the mountain and landscape! DON"T BUY THE OLD BACKHOE DESIGN IF YOU WANT COMFORT!! Get the 900 series.

Thanks Big Horn. My tractor is at the dealer getting a 930 installed along with plumbing for a Millonzi 48" grapple. Xmas in June. Maybe delivery tomorrow. About the only major thing left for me is a snowblower.

Got my 930 and Millonzi 48" today. The 930 is quite an impressive unit. The curve in it really helps getting the bucket close without it hitting itself. Just VERY nerve racking disconnecting the backhoe from the tractor for the first time.

The Millonzi grapple is very well built. I was able to grab the trunk of the previous tree I cut down and just drag the entire tree. I was shocked over how strong the tractor/grapple combination is.

Congrats.

I would replace the clasped on the pins for the subframe connections.
I lost 1 had to pay $35 so I replaced it with lock nut and bolt --never lost one since.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll stay with the clasp pins as my BH will not be staying on very much as I use the 3pt hitch for my 72" mower more than for the BH. As a matter of fact, the BH is already off the tractor. I hope to get good at getting it on and off quickly.

I have just read this entire thread and have enjoyed it except for one thing.

Where are the pix of your new toy? C'mon, hurry up with that will ya!

 

[DCJL]

I will as soon as I get it back on. Too busy using other attachments!

OK, finally was able to take some photos of the tractor, grapple and backhoe as well as a close up of the diverter valve.

Finally a few more close ups of the diverter plus a little pebble I picked up. Kinda on the edge of my tractors abilities. Check out the front tires, and yes they are the correct pressure. I needed to get the rock in the back of the grapple to be able to lift it.
