Need Picture of frame mount backhoe.

[Bill_M]

The front mount looking from the rear, is the black angle w/ tubes on either end. The red and gray mount is for my 7' Meyer snow plow.

Hoe installed at front mount, 3/4" bolts get inserted in the tubes.

Hoe sits farther back than you want but it allows me to keep all the three point linkage on w/ it installed. Also allowed me to mount it lower so I no longer hit my head on the ROPS.

Poor detail pic of frame on hoe, will get better if you want. This was built with all scrap metal. Long rails are 4" channel, plated w/ 3/4" at hoe attachment than 3/8" the rest of the length. Cross pin is 1 3/8" if I remember correctly. Like everything else I build, needs paint-just can't get past making it functional and on to the next project.

Thanks Bill_M, very ingenues idea with the slide in bar at the back. Do you still use the top link as another attachment point. Maybe I'm being too cautious, but at 1000+ lbs, I want to get this right the first time. Your pictures have been very helpful.

Bigbear,
Thanks, credit can actually go to Pine Ridge, he gave me this drawling when I asked for help.
No I don't use the top link, I remember how hard it was to get the bolt out of the hole with the hoses in the way when I took the 3 point hitch off. There is no way I am going to try to pin a top link in there if I don't have to. I have no fears of breaking anything the way it is built even when moving the 'bota with the hoe.

Here is a better pic of the sub frame.

And last, the top link portion of the mount.

There is some pics of my new Woods 4 point hoe in the kioti forum. The mounting frame stays on the tractor and the hoe connects with 4 pins / bolts. It's real nice.
