PineRidge A friend of mine has an older NH 1920 i think. That was why I was talking about crawling underneath. On the Case it is drop in the hooks and put in a pin on each side 5 min install. Bradco backhoe mount

I looked at Bradco when I purchased my New Holland package. I was rather impressed with them thought they were built stout and engineered well. I might have bought one if not for the simple reason that the New Holland folks won't get behind them if a problem develops with the tractor as a result of using a hoe which is not manufactured by New Holland. Their rule, not mine.

However slim that chance might be I wasn't willing to take the plunge. I have never been a betting man myself I guess.

Is this the same as a Ford 758 BH? I have wanted one too. It's listed at $1200!

Now it's on a 8N with homemade frame

Sound to good to be true?

If it's a NH 758C it is rated at a digging depth of 102" on a 2 foot flat bottom and lists at $7400. It must really look strange coupled to a 8N.

Well is does in deed look strange on the 8N. It looks small so I'm guessing it's not the same as the one you described.

Paddy take a look at my pictures. The 758C is larger than the backhoe thats mounted on our TC-40D SS. I don't think it would be likely to see one on an old 8N but one never knows....

I ran a 758 on my 2120 (somewhat larger than a TC45) for about 15 years before I got my TN with the Woods 1050. Teh 758 worked fine for all those years and pulled a lot of large stumps and big boulders. Just remember the concept of leverage and it'll do a lot of work. Other than one broken hose and a bucket that I tore in half (welded and lasted for years) the 758 worked for many hundred hours.
