In my opinion, the outriggers should just clear the tires. That is where it should be. Then there is less stress on the tractor and better maneuverability.

Thx, Mike. Yes, one of my primary goals was to bring the outriggers as
close as possible (plus a small margin) to the back tires. This approach
did require that I re-work how the seat is mounted. Fortunately, this
CUT does not have a rear fuel tank like some B Kubotas and the Kioti
CK20, among others.

Attached photo is of a factory early style Woods subframe on a a Kubota
L2550DT. That hoe was so far out back that it adversely affected
driveability and ground clearance.

CIDERTOM, the OP was referring to 30hp and under tractors, but yes
all integrated TLBs have their hoes close-in mounted. I think the BX24 with
the BT601 hoe is well-designed, too. There is a lot to be learned from the
B21/26, the L39/48, the 580, the JD110, and other industrial hoes.

Other than those fine TLBs already mentioned, another is the Kioti LK3054, I think it has an integral backhoe with swivel seat. And it is removable so that one can use the 3ph and PTO.

I have a frame mount 7.5' Rhino on a Kioti CK25. I have no trouble manuevering with it. Digs great. Loads fine on a dovetail trailer too.

DFKRUG,
Yor set up is what I am after.
I would go with the kubota BX series, except 1) the tires are way to small, it "appears" to be built like a glorified lawn tractor.

Yes, I am spoiled with My Case 580 super E, but it is way to large for all my land scape projects. and I need a 3 point for a few projects.

I would love a 580 shrunk down to Mahindra 2615 size with the 3 point.

I did not mean to exclude the one-and-only Kioti integrated TLB.....I
would have bought one instead of my CK30 if it had HST. It has a
different hoe (2376), vs. the std 2375 that Kioti sells. Can't find my
pix of it. :-( Better mount, too.

I have heard plenty of good things about the Rhino hoes. I hope to see
more of them.
