I have a 1985 JD 750 4-WD tractor. Has the JD 67 FEL, 60" bucket. I often use a Gearmore 60" roto-tiller, a boom pole or a Danhauser PH digger. I am considering getting a PTO Backhoe. I bought this unit new, and now it has 620 hrs. Has been absolutely problem free since new.
I am considering a "Liberty" brand B/H. Probably a China unit. http://www.libertybackhoes.com/model...e.html#pagetop
Says the unit weighs 750# and comes with an 8" and 12" bucket, which suits my purposes fine. I need to dig some water and elect lines, and footings for a new workshop. This unit is just for my personal consumption, and not for hire.Cost of the unit is about $3300 out the door, delivered.
If anyone has experience with PTO backhoes, or can offer an opinion as to their compatibility w/a small tractor, please chip in.
