Backhoe NH Backhoe attachment..

[nickel plate]

I have just finished up months of backhoe attachment research as to which make and model to buy for my TC-40. The backhoe makes that I would choose from would have to have a sub-frame mounting kit. That mounting kit would also have to be permantly attached to the tractor and not be part of the backhoe when seperated. Any detached backhoe is large enough to park and store as it is without adding another 6' +- of sub-frame rails. The out of production 756/757/758C NH backhoe attachments have the sub-frame rails attached to the backhoe when seperated from the tractor.
The backhoe had to be SAE fastened. I don't want to have to buy any metric tools. By the way-my Canadian manufactured Wallenstein BX42 chipper is SAE. I called Wallenstein and found that out before purchasing it.
The backhoe make that I would choose from would have to also offer a hydraulic thumb as part of their factory package. The hydraulic thumb that I wanted really cut the field down to just three manufactures. There may be more out there as I did not look too close at the offshore models.
I kept landing back on the Woods BH90-X Groundbreaker. It's going to cost you a few grand more but since this is my first and last backhoe, hopefully I will get it right the first time. It is being built now and I should have it attached by the end of the month.
One other thing-according to my NH manual, your TC-35 has the same 9.8 GPM hydraulic pump capacity as my TC-40. The Woods installation manual lists your tractor as also being eligible for the sub-frame mounted BH90-X. They do also offer smaller backhoes but none with a factory hydraulic thumb, mechanical only.
Hope this helps, it really comes down to what you expect (now and in the future) to accomplish with the backhoe.

If you still have some interest in the new holland backhoe let me know, i have a tc34da, and a woods 8 ft backhoe. Works great. i've put mine thru its paces. i've took out stumps, and dug drainage ditches, and footer for a barn project. i hit bedrock as little as 1 foot down and the backhoe did great breaking thru some of the rock and whatnot. my friend who has his own excavation business brought his mini excavator down to dig the footers, he used my machine for a little and said that its a really nice setup and had tons of power. he finished with his mini. He stated it had a ton of power, but the tractor needed more weight to help push thru the rock and soil. i got mine with the sub frame, instead of the 3 point. and a thumb to pick stuff up with, i'll try to post pictures if your interested in seeing what it can do. you just work slow, and small, and you can do almost anything with it. only thing i found is that you do have to move the tractor alot for doing ditches. i had my wife drive forward and i stayed on the backhoe. when i got to the spot i had her stop and put it in park and the fel down and then i put the outriggers down and started digging, that saved getting on and off a bunch of times. let me know if you want pictures of what it can do.

Newbie here.

We acquired an amazing TZ22D boomer with less than 45 hours on hourmeter.

With mower NH deck and NH snowblower

Can I mount a NH757C (with subframe) on this model for very occasional use.

Cost is not a factor.

Just looking to dig some drain ditches and plant some trees.

Thank you very much.
