I let a 3PT Woods 750 get away from me on CL the other week and I'm still kicking myself over it. However they are out there, just depends on how "nice" you want & how much sweat equity you're willing to invest.
I know nothing of CT so I Googled & guessed at New Haven for the closest CraigsList location to the OP - found 2 (not sure of mounting on one, other was Skid Steer QA). Not going to win any beauty pageants but a little elbow grease and some metalwork and he's got a subframe mounted hoe for about half what he's looking at now. However that assumes he has the Tools, Time, and Inclination to do so.
I just posted a bunch of links and a video about backhoe subframes in the Attachments section today (too lazy to go through my subscriptions and find them again LOL)

If nothing else you should read dfkrug's thread on building your own subframe (in the links in the other post).
Thanks a bunch. I'm probably handy with things, I have the tools or could get what's needed, but I have zero time for this. I cannot even keep up with maintenance for all the things around the busy house. So I need to buy new, if I can, or nothing. I think I'm going to confine myself to digging with the buster and fel for now. I did go ahead and ordered several attachments from Titan today (box blade, pallet forks, flail mower) and I'm anxious about quality and fitting issues.

Hello all, new to site but I do own a titan bk 215. The backhoe seems to do a good job as a 3 pt, tho I intend to look into mating it to a sub for my Branson. I got a good deal, they had a Black Friday sale last year, may again this year if you can hold out. I am local to them and drove down to Memphis to pick it up. The customer service was very good, IMO...

Just a clarification, KIOTI KB Series Backhoes are manufactured in S Korea by Tausung for KIOTI. Not sure about the direct fit-up of a Titan Backhoe to the KIOTI Subframe.

I believe they are from Korea. I looked on mine and saw no plate of origin, but I do recall they told me it was from Korea the day I picked it up. I've put maybe 50hrs on it, on a 70hp Case and 30hp Branson, and have had no issues.
