Can you have a Cab with a BH-90?

[JoeR]

I have an L4330 with a BH-90 and wanted to know if you have a cab with a BH-90?

Thanks,

Joe

Hello Joe…
That’s a good question /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif… I have an L4200 with cab. The dealers have told me that a hoe will not work with the cab…. I didn’t check any further then last fall I came across a picture of a L4200 with a hoe attached, could not tell what model it was… so this spring I am going to try to find out what will fit. I hope someone who knows will respond to this… KennyV.

The BH-90 is not compatible with Grand L cabs. Bradco makes subframes for their backhoes that are compatible with those cabs. Hope this helps.

KennyV,
I have a L3430 with a cab and have my Woods BH mounted on it. Woods came out with a sub frame that replaces your loader arms that attach to your rear axle. Here is a picture of the Woods tractor attachment.

KennyV,
Here is a picture of the Woods BH attachment. This attachment enables you to get the hoe away from the tractor far enough so the seat doesn't hit the rear cab window.

One more KennyV, Heres yet another picture of the hoe attachment. One thing that you need to do in order to mount the BH is remove your 3 point arms and linkage from the tractor (takes about a minute). Woods even supplies you with different pins to make the removal easier. The price of the sub frame this past summer was $850. This will only work for a Woods BH. I hope this helps.

Not sure if any of the aftermarket cabs work but the factory doesn't. Of course the BH-90 could probably be made to work with some serious cutting and welding on the attachment side. Looks like that Woods subframe is real close to the BH90 subframe position but the extension on the BH frame is longer under the operator. At least that's what I'm seeing. Guess that's what pushes it back from the cab. Lots easier to buy one that works though.

Bill …
Thank you for that information… I will have to check with Woods to find how large a hoe they have that will work with my tractor. What model do you have and are you happy with Woods BH? Thanks again, KennyV.

I have a L3430 with a Curtis Cab and a BH-90 on order should be in next week hopefully. My dealer says it will work just fine he says there is a spacer they have for it and I also remember seeing something about that spacer here on TBN. Well good luck I will update you guys with info once my BH-90 is installed.

Billy if you will, please get a part # for that spacer… I’ll find out if it will work with my factory cab… Thank you, KennyV.
