The bobcat version subframe stays with the hoe, it's a matter of minutes to remove the hoe, the sub frame also greatly reduces your ground clearance, you would want it off when don't using the hoe.

I have a Rhino 75. You can leave the 3pt on the tractor. The subframe does come off with the tractor. Two pins holds the hoe onto the tractor. The hoe works great. Smooth and powerful. The hoe comes off in a minute or two. Putting it on can be a pain, as you have about an inch of left/right play to get the rear bar aligned with the hooks. Sometimes I can get it on in about 5 minutes. Other times it take 15. If you store it on concrete or pavement, I'd think it would be easiest. I don't have that luxury. I have a few hundred hour of use and it has always worked very good. Suggest you get two buckets: 18" for general digging, and a 12" for trenching. An 18" trench is monster for a 2" pipe.

Depending on your application a ripper tooth might be a good option as well, I sure with I had one the other night while removing some ironwood stumps.

I'm thinking a 16 for starters. But I may have to take what I can get if I find a bobcat brand one. I think I'm getting closer. Do they make after market thumbs and rippers for the bobcat/rhinos

The dealer should be able to offer you several options: buckets, thumbs, rippers, what not.

I would look at Woods. Subframe stays on tractor and helps support front end loader. 3 point can stay on with backhoe, no loss of ground clearance. It also helps to protect Hydro filter. You get what you pay for. IMO.

I may be speaking out of turn but I thought the Bobcat tractor was a rebranded Kioti, in which case wouldn't a Kioti BH fit? What is the Kioti equivalent to a CT225?

You are correct, the bobcat is a rebranded kioti I would assume a ct 225 is equivalent to a ck 25? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes mostly. The same company that makes kioti also makes the bobcat tractors. They r almost identical except for color and other minor differences. Loaders r different though I be leave a kioti backhoe will fit no problem and I believe is a good backhoe. But. The price is as much as a woods and it is orange. So far the rhino/ bobcat hoe is the best price for quality backhoe and made in USA and if I can find a bobcat one it would be oem and match my tractor.
