4572 backhoe attachment

[HappyGilmore]

I recently bought a 4572 backhoe attachment for my B8200.
It was previously mounted on a different tractor and the mount has been modified to fit it. I’m hoping for a picture of the mount that goes to the top link attachment point.
Or anything else you might know about this rig would be appreciated too.

Do you have the subframe for a backhoe?

For my B7100, I could technically run a backhoe only on top link bracket and 3ph, but it needs the subframe to safely do any real work. Not positive about a B8200 though.

The backhoe was previously on a B8200 but someone put it on a different tractor, so they modified the top link attachment point. That’s what I was looking for.
I have since found a manual online that will get me moving in the right direction.
This hoe goes on the 3 point arms.

The backhoes does go on 3 point arms, yes, but I think the tractor should have a subframe running from front to back to keep from damaging something on the rear housing or transmission. It's too much weight/ force hanging too far off the rear of the tractor with no extra rigidity.

That's my 2 cents, al least from what I've learned and been told.

three point backhoes are a great way to crack a tractor frame

I have a loader on it. The subframe for it runs front to back.
It’s also a 1982 or 84 so no comparison to today’s thin metal and plastic.
Not saying you’re wrong but I’m going to chance it. I may be back asking for advice on fixing a broken frame. Lol

There were (are) reinforced parts for where the top link attaches to the tractor. That is usually two angled pieces bolted to the tractor with six bolts total. The reinforced version used more bolts on top of the tractor case to help not rip the case apart.

But if you use it to dig pebbles up in sand there is not much risk. If you use it to dig boulders out of hard soil then that is a concern for damage.

There are threads on here that show the damage and some that show the reinforced parts.

Good luck and just use it reasonably.
