Woods BH75 backhoe/TC-29D questions-subframe

[walk4rams]

Hi All,
Not posted for sometime- Looking at a Woods bh75 backhoe attachment w subframe, hoses, mech. thumb was set up for a T1520. $7000. According to Mesicks it fits (however not verified which subframe id being sold (mesicks says SML 53914 is required)
General Questions,
Runs of tractor hydraulics not PTO Sufficient flow?
Can the Subframe stay on the Tractor and still be allowed to hook up box scraper and snow blower (pto)
What about hose attachments for Backhoe, it there a splitter need as it looks like hydraulic hook ups are all spoken for around loader connections, the tractor is hydrostatic.
How big of rocks (Weight) will the hoe lift safely for small rx walls, do mechanical thumbs work ok, only option available for bh-75 from woods
The units is pretty new, but no warranty and a distance away, so it the price reasonable or what would be a killer deal
Is it worthwhile to look for a New holland 756 or 757C attachment instead of the woods.

Thanks guys, planning on tree planting, landscape, rock walls, however dirt is hard with some larger rocks at times

Welcome to the time change, ick!

It is not apples to apples, but I have a Woods BH90 with subframe on my Kioti DK40.
- Subframe stays on all the time, never needs to come off.
- 3pt arms should come off when the BH is in place, but not mandatory.
- I run my machine at 1400 rpm and I have plenty of flow. Any faster and the BH moves too fast for me. Digging power depends on system pressure, not speed (flow).

Thanks so much for the quick reply, I'm going to check out your tractors hydraulic pump but thats great to know as my tractor seems to function fine at a reasonable rpm , was worried I would have to rev it up and listen to it.

Have a good evening and happy digging!
