M6800 Backhoe ?

[CJBOTA]

I found a nice used 2005 M6800 but it doesn't have a BH. The dealer said Woods did not have BH listed as available for the M6800. I did a search and found a short discussion back in 2012 about this but it wasn' conclusive. Does anyone know if a BH is available for the M6800 ?

M6800 would probably have taken an 11 or 12 ft. BH, which are expensive and rare. Being primarily an ag tractor, there were probably very few backhoes sold for an M6800, so it's not surprising there's little information about them at this point.

As the poster noted in the link, if you are really determined to add a backhoe to an M6800, Bradco might be a better bet than Woods for information.

Probably not my business, but is there a reason you're seeking a BH for an M6800 instead of your MX? The MX would seem to be a more obvious platform for a BH.

Grandad4,
I sold the Mx5100 to get a tractor with more Hp. In my search for a bigger tractor I just stumbled across this m6800. I drove and it feels like a tank. And the price is right. But I want to be able to add a BH.
