Backhoe DK55 subframe for backhoe

psj12 · Feb 28, 2020

I am looking to add a backhoe to my 2013 DK55 and need too find a subframe for it. Since they don't produce this tractor any longer I would need to find New Old Stock or a used one. My dealer cannot find one. Does anyone know where one is, or have a used subframe or subframe/backhoe combination for sale?

Very likely impossible to find.

Does anyone else make a backhoe/subframe combination to fit this tractor? I hate to sell it as it only has 250 hrs.

Maybe contact woodsequipment.com, to see if they might know of a subframe system that could be adapted to fit your DK55.

I agree, contact any Woods Equipment dealer. They have been making all the Kioti Backhoes since 2010, and most likely have a backhoe and subframe for your DK55. Check online and see who are the Woods dealers near you. Call all of them, work the phone. I am also sure if you call Kioti headquarters in North Carolina, they can give you some good advice on this issue.

Likely an aftermarket hoe like the suggested Woods will be available with a frame for your tractor - and I'm guessing won't cost any more than a Kioti hoe. Certainly worth talking to them. Or get a hoe and have a frame made. they are a simple construction. Sounds like you're happy with your tractor otherwise, so no sense getting rid of it. You'll end up spending more money in selling/buying a new tractor then simply buying a hoe for your existing tractor.

Just a little clarification. Woods does make Backhoes that are compatible with KIOTI Tractors. KIOTI Branded Backhoes are manufactured in Korea, not by Woods. Woods does now produce the KIOTI Implement Line, but not the KIOTI Backhoes and Front Loaders. Very possible they did have a subframe mount for your tractor.

Hope this helps

I am glad you clarified my thinking. I assumed since Woods Equipment makes the implement line for Kioti, that also included the backhoes.

I contacted KIOTI HQ in North Carolina and they said they do not have and cannot provide one as the tractor is no longer made so the subframe is no longer made. I will check with Woods equipment. Thanks
