Backhoe question BL4520

[Ulsterman]

I have a chance to buy a BL4520 backhoe for $3K. My question is will it fit and work on aL245DT tractor.

Thank you for confirming that. I needed that information before I spent the money.

My question is does the hoe come with the correct mounting brackets for your tractor?

I’m not sure. If I understand correctly it should be set up to attach it to the 3 pt hitch but should have some plates to bolt on the tractor to provide better support. Is that what you are asking? I have not seen what comes with it.

The hoe was used on both B and L series tractors. The L series parts diagram shows some mounting brackets. Take a look at the online Kubota parts site for the details.

Thanks for sending that link. I have this picture of the unit which showed the large under the tractor support beam but still don’t know if the attaching brackets are there. I’m supposed to go have a look at it tomorrow. Without the brackets I won’t be able to attach the hoe properly.

So the round bar across the middle of that subframe would slot into some thick C-shaped openings on brackets bolted somewhere near your 3pt lower pins on the tractor. The front of that subframe would probably have a long crosspin go through it to retain the subframe from sliding out of the C-notches at the back.

The stuff you need for the tractor itself can be fabricated but it's up to you whether you're confident or able to make those pieces or would need to pay to buy them or have them made.

I got a look at the brackets and I believe they will bolt on directly to my frame. So I feel pretty confident that everything will just bolt up. We are notifying the seller that we will pick it up when we have the trailer to put it on.

Thanks for your help, I’ll let you know when we get it set up.
