Kioti vs Aftermarket Backhoe

[blucoondawg]

I am considering a purchase of either a DK40SE or a DS4110, I am wondering if the Kioti backhoe has replaceable bushings? I am looking into other brands as well if I can find one with good specs for less money, so far I am going to look into Woods, Wallenstein Rancho, Bush Hog, Rhino, and Bradco. So far the only one that mentions bushings is the Rancho. Does anyone know if any of these other brands have replaceable bushings or if there are any other good brands I should research?

Kelley makes very nice backhoe. Quite sturdy, easy to install, self-leveling, almost 10 different bucket to choose from. Self decelerating (no need for bumper) there're very smooth to operate. Side stabilizer are among the larger on the market (very stable). Grease nipples are made of steel, well place so you're not reluctant to do maintenance!

If you can, try them before buying it!

Try bradco, there construction grade. Very heavy.

I was looking online for Bradco last night and I couldn't seem to find a corporate website for them with specs and dealer locator etc. All I was coming up with was implement sales type websites.

Manufacturer's website is here: Sweepers - Skid Steer Attachments - Paladin Light Construction. Click on the Bradco link to get to the Bradco branded products. I think their literature has more information than their website. They do have parts and operators manuals online for most of their products.

It isn't hard to find a better backhoe than a Kioti, but the better ones I know of (Woods, Bradco) probably won't be cheaper.

I have a Woods BH70-X on my CK35. Really like it and has the 7 postion thumb.

I personally have a rhino 95c mounted on a dk 45 has lots of power and built heavy

the specs on that rhino had me interested, does it have replaceable bushings? That is one thing I am interested in and do they have a subframe that fits your DK45 or is that a 3pt mount? Now I have changed course on the tractor, I am looking at a hydro DK50 they price is good, I don't see the sense in going with the 40 I was looking at when the price difference is so small.

Why do you want replaceable bushings? most use replaceable pins.
