Backhoe Wanted to Buy: 1610D 3 Pt Backhoe Attachment

[fqo63]

Hello

I have a 1610D and would like to add a 3 point hitch backhoe attachment. The tractor is equipped with a Koyker 110 FEL which run from the tractor hydraulic system.

What manufacturers have backhoes that will fit?

Does anyone on this list have one for sale?

Thanks in advance.. Tad

Tad,

Many do not recommend attaching a backhoe to your Yanmar due to the stress factors put on the engine-bell housing section that can break your tractor (in half). I have a 1610D and at one point researched carefully what it would take, and decided that the risk outweighed the expense.

Still it is possible with moderate modification but a tow behind or separate TLB may be more desirable. Even renting or swapping labor was preferable to damaging my 1610D. Good luck and welcome to TBN. Regards, Mark

***edit*** I remember looking at UBUILDITPLANS.COM and it had 3 different models just FYI.
