I have a CT335 and am trying to figure out if the backhoe pictured here will work. A "maybe" won't cut it as I don't want to buy it and then be stuck with a piece I can't use.

Unfortunately, this is the only photo I can get.

There is a gentleman named Rick Wallace that is on this forum...He is a Knowledgable dealer and a very helpful human being as well. I hope he will chime in here soon.

Do you have a make and model for it?

Certainly looks like it runs off the three point hitch and the PTO. Do you plan to run it that way or do you want a frame mount. As it sits, I would think it can be run off any tractor with a 3pt hitch and pto, but no one recommends that set up anymore, especially Wallace. Too many problems with the BH tearing up the top link connection. I had one for years on a Chinese tractor and had no problem, but it was all pretty light duty stuff that I used it for.

Okay..okay...I'm here!
That is a Woods backhoe. There is no mount that will "bolt right up" to your tractor.
Now I am going to give you a little piece of advice..A customer of mine did just this a little while back. He purchased a used Woods backhoe "good deal" and after spending thousands of dollars on repairs and a subframe mount. He would more than likely tell you not to bother with this.
He purchased a used Woods 7500 which had a direct bolt on subframe.

This one does not, nor does Woods have a subframe to bolt to the CT335 with out a little fabrication.

Unless you are practically getting it given to you, you may want to move on. Chances are you will be dropping a couple more grand to get it safely on your machine.
I have some brand new Rhino CB85's in stock. I will sell you one w/subframe and bucket for $6,500

Thanks. That's all I needed to hear. I will definitely not be bidding on this one.
