4 Notice how the bolt is at the top, a wrench mounted on the side for removal. Forked hooks on the bottom. BH drops into the forks, and the you bolt the top in.

9. Sorry, I counted wrong, only 9.
This is a pic of me making the final examination of the CK20 dressed out in a Woods loader and new Woods BH6000 groundbreaker backhoe.
I must say the patient is in good health, strong as several oxen, and ready for many years of hard work! John

Can't say I like the looks of the Woods loader much. It seems like a downgrade from the Kioti KL120 loader. I do like the idea of a higher clearance on the BH subframe. Whenever I saw some pics, I always thought the Kioti BH subframes hung a little low. Thanks for posting the pics. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I thought it looked a little skimpy at first myself. It's because of the curved style. It's stronger than the box on the Kioti, so no need for it to be as wide. After being around it for a couple of hours, I began to see the real beauty of it though. Of course, one loses 1/2 a foot reach from the KL120, but the difference in the mount, and stamped instead of welded swing makes so much difference I wouldn't care.

One other thing. The bucket has removable teeth insteaded of welded in case one would like to do some smooth finishing. I like that much better than the welded ones my Kioti bucket has. That was a sore point at first, but I've grown used to them. John
