Taking off the backhoe is easy thanks to Bradco's design. All you'll need is a level spot and a hammer for popping the wedges loose. The hoses to the tractor are long enough so you can lift the machine off, set it down, and get it all "parked" before disconnecting hydraulic power. I have the Bradco owner's book in a .pdf (2.6 mb) if you'd like it - send an email address by pm. Take care, Dick B

rbargeron,
I've taken the Bradco 611 off of the L5450 twice now. Both times the left wedge showed pin was quite suborn, even with the load relieved. Does the sloped portion of the pin face the front or the rear? Other than this, it sure is a breeze to remove and attach. I was thinking of adding a liitle grease to the sloped pins next time.

Joe Buyer: Regnuorcs here: I too have an L5450. I am trying to purchase a Bradco 611 for it, finding that most available come from skid steer units. With that, I called Bradco (Paladin Construction) and found the do not make sub frame mounts for that Kubota. I was wondering if you might be willing to share some photos of sub frame and maybe some dimensions? Yea, I know I could probably come up with something on my own, but I am not at all familiar with a backhoe on a three point hitch tractor. Do you have to remove the lower lift arms in order to mount the backhoe?
Thanks,
Regnuorcs

Regnuorcs, (scrounger?) The 3pt links need to be removed for mounting the bh. I dunno who Paladin is, but Bradco made subframes for the L5450. The L5412 backhoe was really a Bradco. If they don't offer a subframe maybe they still have drawings? A good fab shop could make one in 2-3 days.

Rbargeron is correct. The mount shouldn't be too hard to fabricate if they are not commercially available.

rbargeron and PokyMike,
I just joined TBN yesterday. I also have a Kubota L5450. I bought it 1.5 years ago after the Winter of 2009/2010. We had over 9 ft of snow that Winter, so I was on a search for a tractor. It only had 604 hours on it. Not as clean looking as your new/used L5450, but it runs fine and can drag full size trees out of the woods. It is a beast for its size. Perfect tractor for me. Never had a tractor before so I'm full of questions.

Hey GrayGhost1960 - welcome to the "L5450 owner's group". Picking a 5450 as a first tractor shows very good mechanical judgement - congratulations. Of course I'm really biased - I've had L3's for years, starting with an L4150 before trading up to an open-station L5450, and now a L5450 cab. Happy to share my experience and limited knowledge any time. There actually isn't an L3 owners group - maybe somebody will post a list. Take care, Dick B
