I am curious if that weight includes the subframe. The Ford backhoe mounted to hooks on the subframe so that may be the backhoe only as you can detach it and mount an implement on the tractor. Therefore the weight would be the attachment. The subframe system probably adds another 600 lb. Don't know though.

INTERESTING ???
I do NOT know if those weights in the service manual include the subframe.
The picture in the hoe service manual, does NOT show the subframe.
Thus, I would assume that the weights listed probably DO NOT include the weight of the subframe (and that subframe is a heavy bugger).
I will be stopping off at a local Ford tractor dealer in a few days for some stuff, and will see if their lead parts guy can give me an answer.
Jeff is very knowledgeable. If ANYONE can find that answer, he can.

Thanks City Farmer:
My Ford parts guy thinks that the sub frame weight IS included in the Ford hoe manual published weight, which in the case of my 750 hoe (10') the total weight would be 2200 lbs.
I am not so sure, because that hoe, with bucket, and stabilizers is one beefy hunk of steel.
Even so, if the total is 400 lbs. more (2200 lbs + 400 lb. sub frame) I am still OK with that.
Your response is greatly appreciated!
