Wallenstein backhoe?

[Kanook]

Below is a list of the belly mount subframe that would be required to fit a Wallenstein BH to your tractor. I would suspect that the hoe you are considering already has a mount with it.

I currently have a Wally backhoe GX500 with a belly mount for B1700 that I no longer use. Not trying to make a sale here as I will likely modify or order a new belly mount frame to fit my B2650 or I am considering trading it for a Kubota hoe that would fit miy tractor. Other than busting a hydraulic hose due to it rubbing on a metal part, it has been a good hoe. The smallest hoe GX500 requires a min of about 4 gal/min of flow. My B1700 met this requirement so a PTO Pump was not required. It looks like the GX500 (5 ft depth) is no longer made but the small size in my opinion would be ideal for a BX sub compact tractor. BTW mounting the sub frame entails removing the lower lift arms of the 3pth (no big deal) attaching the hoe subframe where the lift arms were and attaching the front of the subframe to the FEL frame with a couple of pins.

BX1850 3631A450 Belly GX620
BX2200 3630A100 Belly GX620
BX2230 3630A100 Belly GX620 the 2nd col is the subframe part number
BX2350 3631A450 Belly GX620
L2250 3631A500 OEM ROPS Belly GX620/GX720

Hope this helps

I'm going to respectfully disagree at to the necessity of subframes. I ran a Woods 750 on a NH 3415, 1710 and 1920 for 16 years without subframes and without any ill effects. But, then, I never abused it, but I did work it hard at times. I am, though, highly experienced, having taught and written appropriate operating techniques. My only point is that a competent operator who understands the dynamics of the loads imposed by their operating can compensate for the lack of a 2nd rigid retention system.
