JD 310SE, 4300, 5300, 5210, 450 Crawler, CAT D3B, Ford 2N, 5000, 4000su, 3610, 345C, 340B, 1100
Here is my Ford 345C that I want to mount a backhoe to but cannot figure out which brand I want. I really want a Bradco 611 but I seem to find plenty of Woods 1050 models near by. If I were to get the 611, I would have a subframe fabbed up for it. If I got the Woods I 'think' that I can attach it to the 3pt hitch. The Ford backhoe (Model 764) for this tractor is very hard to find. Is there another Ford backhoe that can be attached to this tractor?

I was thinking that the Bradco 611 was a skidsteer BH. Did you mean the 511?? BobG in VA

No, I want the Bradco 611.

I've used a Woods 1050 3PT on a New Holland TN for about 5 years and it works really well.

I have seen pictures of your setup AndyMA and it looks like the Woods 1050 sits quite a ways out from the your TN. Are your lower links telescoping or really long? When is the most pressure applied to the top link location on the tractor? Would a sub frame be fabbed together easily for the 1050?
