Hi everyone. New to the site. I have an '05 John Deere 990. I'm looking to get a backhoe ASAP to dig a septic pipe trench. What backhoe's are compatible? I think the 8A is compatible, anything else? Bradco? Where do I get the subframe? And finally, I believe the previous owner had a rear remote installed to operate a log splitter. I don't see any valves/switches to operate the rear hydraulic line. Am I missing something? Do i need to plumb anything else into the tractor to operate a backhoe? I'm mechanically inclined and looking to install it myself. Thanks in advance for the help!
