DK45/KB 2475

[wingbone]

From the Kioti site and from reading on here, the KB2475 hoe is smaller than recommended for my DK45. I've seen one for sale on craigslist and wonder if it is just too small to be practical? I think it would be great to have a backhoe but I don't want it to be more aggravation than it is worth but also know I'll never spring for the new price of a new one. I figure they don't come around used very often.

people will tell you to get the bigger one but the 2475 is a really capable backhoe. what do you want to do with it ? and how much is he asking for?

if I could find a 2475 for 4000$ and less around here, I would buy it... but I'm not gonna bite the 8k$ they want for the 2485 or even the 2475 new...
im currently looking at buying an Old backhoe from the early 80's, they are in that ballpark (4-5k$) and weight 9000-12 000 lbs (can dig stump easily), most of them are hydrostat/hydro shuttle...

let us know what you choose

Would the sub-frame be a direct bolt on to the DK45?

the same frame as 2485

Be sure you get the frame parts that are installed on the tractor. The Hoe will not install without them.

You would need the correct subframe for your DK. Very sure the 2475 won't have that. The 2475 will work
on a DK, just a 7.5 instead of 8.5.

I called the guy selling the hoe. He says it has been on a KL130. Would that subframe be compatible with my DK45? I figuring it probably won't. I live two hours from the seller or I would just go check it out and try to get a better idea.
Edited: Don't know what I was thinking, it was an older fellow I talked to and he probably read me the model number on his FEL. I'm guessing he has a CK30.

Use MIE's parts web site to match part #s. OEM Parts

kL130 is the loader #. It would be on a CK. No the subframe will not work. Typically the 2475 goes on the CK's and the 2485 for the DK's.
