Is a B5200 too small to safely handle a Woods 750 Series backhoe with an undercarriage mount?

I found a 13 hp 1985 Kubota B5200 with 1065 hours, bucket, and Woods 750 Series backhoe mounted on an undercarriage mount. Is this backhoe to much for the tractor? I am thinking the backhoe is to much weight and stress for this tractor.

If I am thinking right the woods 750 backhoe digs 7 1/2' deep. but the tractors officially recommended 4520 backhoe only digs 6 1/2' deep.

Tractor Hydraulic Pressure 1630 psi
Total flow 4 gpm

Kubota L4520 Backhoe
Transport height 61.2 inches
2-Foot flat digging depth 79.5 inches

Tractor Wheelbase 55.1 inches
Weight 1058 to 1180 pounds
Front tire 4.5-10
Rear tire 7-16

If the subframe is properly attached, then no it's not really going to hurt it.
that model was normally a 3 point unit and that's not very good if it is.
One issue is it was meant for a 20 to 40HP tractor so the 13 HP that it put to it is going to make it very anemic, thus not much chance that it would do any damage from over force or speed.

If the price is good, I'd buy it, if it doesn't operate positively, you could split it and sell it for some good money.

They want $7,800 for it. I am not sure if it is 2 or 4 wheel drive.

It never occurred to me that the low hp and hydraulic pressures would combine to protect the tractor.
Thank you for the reply.

It says 4wd right on the front of it. ;)
And that's a really good price just for the tractor!
Your getting a loader and back hoe thrown in for free!
