Why do you need to remove the tires? My Kioti BH uses a front catch that mounts on the frame and a rear pin assembly that takes place of the hitch bar holder. Might Woods be that different?

He is talking about mounting the subframe, not the backhoe to the subframe - that is as you describe and very easy.

If the subframe is made for your EXACT tractor it is some work to put on (as described above) but a one time deal normally. If it is for a different machine you may need to do a LOT of work (drilling/ cutting/welding/etc) to get it to fit properly.

Mounting the backhoe to the subframe is easy. I can do it in 5 minutes. Mounting the subframe to the tractor is a huge PITA, but you only have to do it once. You don't have to remove the tires to do so, but the manual recommends you do so. I didn't, but it would have been easier to do so. I later had to remove one rear tire to install the grapple hydraulics, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I see, on a Kioti the subframe is mounted to the BH. Thats why its faster to install!

Yea, every **** time. I only have to do it once. Plus I don't have that thing sticking out in the way when I unhook the backhoe.

Plenty of room in my Barn and it makes it much easier and faster than a woods mount.

I'd have to see a video of you putting it on to believe that.

Spring time the Hoe goes on. My biggest task is to lift the rack up level after that drive forward and line up two pins.

Edit, I just remembered playing this game before.

Yes, we have played before, and I still don't believe it. From the few YouTube videos I have seen the Koiti is not easier. How long does it take to hook up your backhoe? I'm guessing 10-15 minutes.
