Need a backhoe for an M6800

[milkie62]

Does anybody have a hoe attachment on a 6800 series tractor ? I would like to have a Bradco unit but new they are up in the $11K plus range.Have been looking a little for used ones and just getting the mounts for my tractor.Skidsteer 509's seem reasonable but wonder if they can be modified cheaply enough to fit a 3 pt hitch tractor.Any ideas out there ? I did see a Bradco 11HD for sale on craigslist but do not know if mounts are still available for my tractor.

I don't remember ever seeing a sub frame backhoe on an M6800. The M6800's fuel tank is mounted under the left step and doesn't leave much room for a sub frame. On the other hand, the top link and the rest of the M6800's 3-point hitch are rugged enough for a 3-point bh.

Found a 511 Bradco for a Kubota M tractor. Anybody ever seen a backhoe on a 6800 ? Hopefully this would fit.
