Bought a 3pt backhoe yesterday. Today mounted it to my Kubota M4700. Not going to say I was not concerned how hard it would be to mount. Turned out it was way to easy. I had it on the tractor in less then 10 minutes. 
But over the years I had read all the horror stories about how hard they were to mount.
The backhoe is a 2000 model Woods BH7500. Its a little small for this tractor. But figured being 3 point mounted. And my tractor is at the top of its hp rating. It should not beat up my Kubota.
It does look to me that the seat is close to the tractor?
Older guy I bought it from. Told me he hated to sell it. But it was not worth taking it off and mounting it. He had cows and used his tractor everyday. Thus could not leave it on for long stretches at a time. He told me this after we had it loaded on my Trailer.
Made me think OOhh good what have I gotten myself into this time. I sure wish I had not priced my Yanmar B47 ecxcavator 12 years ago. But also got within $300. of what I had paid for it 10 years before. Know this is not going to be as fast as it was. But have the tractor and now the hoe.
Anyone else have a backhoe on there M Kubota? If so how close is the seat on yours?
