L4560 Backhoe mounting options

[Baldwin Buck]

I have an L4560 Backhoe currently mounted on an L3710. My buddy is interested in using/buying the BH for his MX4700. My question is, will the L4560 mount on the MX4700 easily? I am guessing its a specific subframe that would be needed for this set up. Is there anyone out there that can assist me with what specific parts would be needed on his end to hook up the BH?

i have reached out to my local dealer and its been very painful. lots of cricket noises. SO i am asking the OTT community.

I would let my buddy just borrow my set up, but his site use is 1000 miles away and i would be without my tractor for quite some time. and honestly, i would like the sell the BH as I no longer have use for it.

thanks in advance for any/all help.

The L4560BH would require him to make a custom set of subframe mounts as that model was long discontinued before the MX4700 ever came out.
Might be able to adapt the mounts you have, But I couldn't guarantee that!

thank you for your response. that is exactly what i am thinking too. HUGE bummer. That BH has maybe 20 hours on it and it a great BH. Built very well and has some good digging capabilities. Hate to see it just sit around and not work.

Might just have to swap tractors for a while. or sell the L3710 and 4560 as a package deal.

Assuming it is paid for just hang on , and maybe advertise on Craigslist, or even E-Bay.
It is quite likely that someone will want to buy it.

yup. everything is paid for on this unit. i will consider those selling sites for sure. its too nice not to get dirty.

thanks for the response back.

Wow, thats an impressive looking backhoe. Looks like the dipper arm has a ton of leverage.. googled the model number and it seems everyone agrees its a strong unit.

Probably wont know how much adaptation the subframe would need without having the tractors side by side.
