You're using a KB-2485 hoe on a CK-30?

I ask for the part number because I prefer to look it up online to see what it consists of and where I could order it from for how much before I drive to my dealer and bend over to grab my ankles. I am not a lover of a dealer of anything, the majority of them around here are not interested in giving an honest price for anything and the few honest ones here don't carry the brand. I drove 2 and a half hours to buy my tractor and I got my backhoe shipped in from lower Michigan cheaper than I could buy it from any local Woods dealers.

I'm the same way but I ended up calling my dealer to get some info on the kit. He said that all tractors that are ordered with a BH come with the kit included, but not installed. For some reason he doesn't install them on all the BH equiped tractors so he has some laying around and he is going to give me a kit. He wasn't even going to bother to look up the price. Maybe this is how RJWERTH got his for free.

Just what I thought was the case- mine came with them; and I for one fail to understand why any dealer wouldn't install the kit, especially since it comes with the tractor from the factory, and provides a real benefit to the end user?!:confused2:
Unless certain dealers don't want their customers to get the best use from their backhoes, which would make no sense, UNLESS they want more repair dollars from their customer base for overheated pumps, etc.

Not yet. It is an easy kit to install, but I haven't had time to put the hoe on yet. Might have time tomorrow. If not, I'll have to push my experiment to next week!

Well I finally got around to installing the kit. Had to cut the vent elbow to get it screwed on and the drain port doesn't screw all the way in. But, no leaks yet so no harm no foul.
I really didn't get a chance to do any digging (time is so scarce lately) but I did give it a quick test to see if there was any noticeable difference. There wasn't. I'm a little disappointed but hey, it didn't cost anything but some time. If I get a project later, I'll play with it some more to see if there are any subtle differences.
