Backhoe Bradco 11HD Backhoe

[jgbanshee]

Does anyone know what a Bradco 11HD backhoe attachment is worth or a good price for one? The condition is excellent to good, comes with 24" and 12" buckets, has flow control for swing, grouser pad stablizers.

Is there a subframe with it? If so, what tractor model is it designed to fit? I would guess that a Bradco 11HD with subframe should be worth about $5k depending on condition. If a subframe is needed, the price would need to adjust for that - Bradco (ATI) could help with price and availability. The 11HD is a commercial-quality product - thick frame members, spherical ram bearings, replaceable bushings, armored and protected hoses - recessed grease fittings - nice piece of work. Easy on and off (need to remove 3ph arms). Chain swing is not as strong as two swing cylinders - but it works fine.

I've done a little comparitive research and I think my price guesstimate in the post above for a used 11HD Bradco backhoe is on the low side. I think it should be more like $5000 without subframe and maybe $6000 with it, plus installation.

The 11HD has a digging force of 6200 pounds and a reach of 14 feet. It digs like a Woods 1050 Groundbreaker but with about 3' more reach. The weight is 1800 pounds. High steel prices affect the used market too.

If you can get one in good condition under $5k - even without the subframe - I think its a good deal. You might have another $2k in it by the time its mounted on a new subframe, but you'd have a very capable backhoe for relatively short money. As akways, prompt cheerful refund if info is bogus.
