Backhoe DK55/45C and backhoe

[Goalnightx]

I know that you can now buy the backhoe for a DK55 but is the subframe pretty strong and how easy is it to take off and use regular 3pt attachments? Thanks

I have seen the DK55 with Backhoe and there are only two pins to remove, disconnect hoses and drive away. It was very easy. John

Thanks John. Did it look like the 3pt was useable after that or did the subframe appear to be in the way?

The remaining subframe that the Bh attaches too is minimal and has no effect on the 3pt operation.

I have the Dk45 witha 2385 sub frame mount and it is very easy to chage out . 2 pins and disconnect the hoses ! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif It does not interfer with any of my 3 pt attachments. I have also owned a 3 pt. mount backhoe on a Kubota and it was a royal pain to remove . I kept bending pins and then I would end up using a cutting torch to remove them /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. I guess it was just to much weight on the 3/4 pins .

Goalnightx, sorry I misspelled your name in the earlier post, guess you'll be a KNIGHT on that new Kioti you're going to buy. Or at least feel like a charging one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif We're all Knights of the Kioti! John
