Backhoe Kelley Backhoe model 20. Any info/specs/opinions?

[Mfaughn]

Hi all,

There is a Kelley model 20 3pt backhoe for sale locally for $2K (before bargaining). Says it worked with a Ford 1510 which is about the same size weight as my Yanmar 2210D (I think so at least). Also says that it has a 12' reach. Anyone know if this sounds right? Anyone know anything about this model (size, weight)? I have read the arguments against 3pt backhoe attachment. I would only use this for light work and only buy it if I feel it is a good deal. I don't have much money to spend on a good frame-mount hoe at the moment.

Thanks,
Michael

Don't know about the BO but while growing up on the farm we had a Kelly FEL on our Ford 601 and it was top flight.
