It wasn't me that said Pioneer was owned by Woods. I couldn't tell you if they are or not.

I can't remember what thread I read it in. I though it was you, but I wasn't sure. Age is making my mind foggy. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Daryl,

I haven't ever heard of a Pioneer line of equipment from Deere. They do have Frontier but Frontier is not all Woods. The only thing from Woods that is made for Frontier are the rotary mowers. Actually Deere bailed out Woods a few years back. Woods was going to go bankrupt and Deere stepped in and guaranteed buying so many rotary mowers a year from them and that kept them afloat. The Frontier line is made by several different mfg. and then branded as Frontier. The spreaders, blades, manure spreaders, rakes, discs, etc. are all made by different people.

Being an old fart, I meant Frontier, said Pioneer. I must have been thinking Pioneer hydraulic tips.

Here was what JD said about Woods and Frontier.
<font color="blue"> JOHN DEERE ANNOUNCES FRONTIER EQUIPMENT

Lenexa, Kansas (August 2, 2001) There will soon be a brand new line of equipment showing up on John Deere dealer lots. Frontier products will be available to complement the equipment offered by John Deere. Such implements as grooming mowers, rear blades, box scrapers, and other machinery will be offered at very competitive prices.

"Frontier will be a line of good quality implements and attachments," says Jerry Burau, Manager, Frontier Equipment Marketing. "They will be compatible, safe, and easy to use with a variety of John Deere products, and will provide customers a great value for the dollar. And, as the Frontier line becomes established, we will add more and larger equipment in the future."

The Frontier equipment will feature a John Deere green appearance with gray and black trim and accents. A completely new ordering system has been devised, using a Web-based business to business marketplace. John Deere dealers will work with customers in providing this equipment, and will provide product support for the Frontier product line.

The first products offered will feature the alliance of John Deere and Woods Equipment Company. A complete line of three-point hitch, landscaping and grooming equipment will be offered to dealers.

"Woods Equipment Company has a variety of equipment that works well to complement the John Deere line, " says Burau. "We are extremely pleased that we could work out this initial product line offering with Woods."

A special alliance with Attachment Technologies Incorporated (ATI) has also been established and Frontier will offer attachments for the John Deere 3000 Series Telehandlers.

To learn more about the complete line of Frontier Equipment, contact your local John Deere dealer.

I would check and make sure that you can run a backhoe with the cab model Kubota. Unless something has changed, there have been several people on the forum who could not find a backhoe that fit with the cabs.

MarkV:

The BH 90 Kubota hoe WILL NOT FIT and HSTC tractor. Kubota will not sell the hoe to or with that particular tractor as there is not enough room for the cab and the hoe.

However, Bradco has designed a hoe mounting bracket that will allow their hoe to fit. I know this for a fact. I have been in contact with bradco's district manager and he just forwarded the part numbers to my dealer.

At the start of the thread, when I was questioning the Kubota and non-Kubota equipment I should have mentioned this but I forgot.
