Backhoe Mounting a Kioti backhoe to a Kubota L3710

jimmachinist · Jul 11, 2011

I have a Kubota L3710 with a front end loader and bought a Kioti backhoe, it has a frame mount with it, any Ideas how to make it work on my tractor? I made a front mount on the loader bracket and attached the back to the draw bar but it seems it be leaking oil out of the draw bar mounting screws now. Need a better way to secure it to the rear.

I'd say it can be done but I would be looking at where Kubota fastens theirs!!!

Thank you for your quick reply. It's a good idea but my local dealer won't let see any info on how to do it. He wants me to give him a grand to install it.... Nice guy. It can't be that hard, if only I could see one I know I can do it myself.

Perhaps a shop manual for either the Koti BH or a Kubota BH?

You might want to look at the backhoe sub-frame installation manuals on the Woods website. You can see how they mount their subframe to an L3710. Just search on L3710 on their webpage.

Or you could just buy the subframe. I could supply you with a direct bolt on subframe. Made by Rhino for your tractor. It would be $700 plus freight.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I'll try the manuals first to see if i can make one. There seems to be a lot of satisfaction in making it myself, if I can, if not I'll order one from you. Thanks guys. This a great place to belong to. Thanks for all the help and ideas.

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but please make sure you come up with a way to attach that backhoe really, really, REALLY snug to the tractor. Lots of force involved with backhoe operation. A weak setup can bend the backhoe, the tractor, the operator or all three!
