Bobcat CT230
I'm looking at the Woods 75BH as a backhoe for my CT235, but suspect I will need to make modifications for the subframe to fit up. The Woods subframe is apparently an exact fit at the rear attachment points. At the front, however, there are differences between the Bobcat tractors and their Kioti twins, specifically related to how the FEL mounts to the tractor.

Does anybody here know what modifications (if any) need to be made to the Woods subframe --an exact fit for the Kioti CK 25, 30, or 35-- to mount it on my CT230? Photos of the mod would be very much appreciated.

I've asked this question over on the Bobcat forum, but haven't learned much about that front subframe connection.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't seen a Bobcat tractor up close to compare with my CK-25. It's a 2010 model if pictures of the front attachments will help let me know. I have a Woods BH-70 on my tractor.

Yes, I the photos of the front would be helpful, as I believe the basic tractor frame construction is "nearly" identical between the CT200-series and the CK25, 30, and 35. I'll try to post some photos of the FEL mounts for the Bobcat as reference. I purchased the Bobcat new in 2010, so it's likely about the same as a 2010 Kioti.

Dave, my tractor is up at my son's place for a few days. As soon as I get it back I'll take some pics of the underneath for you.

I will do the same for my tractor, as well. Unfortunately, it's beastly wet weather here, so it might be a day or two until I can get some photos to share.
