Options for turning seat around to use Woods Backhoe?

[ineloquuciusb]

Would love to put a backhoe on my bx2350 (I know--only if it comes with subframe reinforcements), but wouldn't bother if I can't face the right way. As far as I can tell, the bh65 does not come with its own seat (is that correct?). Yet that's the only Woods BH small enough to fit on this tractor. I would have expected to find this answer easily through Google or this forum, but I can't seem to. Is such a seat is available, or can a bx25 seat, for example, be retrofitted?

I just replaced the seat on my BX23. I imagine buying all the support/swivel portions would get pricey. I ran a bolt on hoe on a friends New Holland and it was a giant pitn. I can’t say the Woods would be a problem, but frame support add ones and the cost of the hoe just seem like a compromise not worth making. Trade or sell your machine and get a unit designed for the backhoe. The 23 is a great little machine.

There are seat swivels made for motorhomes `RVs`. I fitted one once to one of my motorhomes. Pull the little lever, twist to where you want, let go of the lever.
