Putting a Bradco 11HD Backhoe on a Kioti DS4510?

[newleafenvironmental]

Looking for some input-Bradco states that this set up should work in terms of hydraulic flow and size of tractor, but the hoe seems a bit big for a tractor that only weighs 3500#. Recommended flow is 11-15 GPM, Kioti putting out 13 GPM. Thoughts or advice would help.

Also, Bradco does not make a sub-frame mount to match any Kioti tractor, so I will be modifying the original sub-frame mount for the Kioti hoe.

That's way more of a backhoe than I would want on any tractor of that size. The stresses that can be transferred from the backhoe to the tractor chassis are my primary concern. Something like a Bradco 508 or the equivalent would be more appropriate.

I made mounts for a Bradco 611 to my New Holland TC 55 DA. The hoe is built super strong and may be a bit too much for the tractor but operating it in a manner it was designed for it works out beautiful. My used hoe was mounted on a Case 1840 skid steer. It was in perfect condition because it was way more machine ( and heavier ) than the skid steer could handle. When I priced a mounting system ( hoe and tractor mount ) I found not only was it more than I paid for the back hoe but it did not have available a sub frame mount that connected the front frame rail. For the price of the shipping ( quoted $350.00 for both mounts ) I bought steel and fabricated a mount I felt that incorporated a proper mounting system. Its not a quick tach but it can be mounted or taken off in fifteen minutes which is not a problem for me.

Somewhere here at TBN is another fellow who put a Bradco 611 on his TC55 and fabricated up his own full length frame mounts. He did a truely fantastic job, and also posted pictures.

I also agree with Rick B whole heartly. That's a big powerful hoe for that size Kioti....

Joes Corvette did it also.

I would be very careful about the mounting frame. If you damage the tractor, Kioti can say it was the hoe & mounting frame fault and you have no recourse (on the basis it is a Kioti issue).

I only say this b/c there's a thread in the Attachment or Operating Kioti forum where Kioti is pointing the finger at the hoe manufacturer (Woods I think?) b/c it isn't a Kioti brand hoe. I haven't heard the outcome but thought I'd mention it as something to keep in mind.

Good luck!!!
