BX backhoe subframe homebuilt

[bissonj]

I have a 2000, BX2200. Got a Bestco 3point backhoe on it, I remember somewhere (i believe it was this group) a gentleman built a subframe for one of the BX models. With numerous pictures. I'll be damned if I can find it now. Does anyone else remember this thread? Or has anyone built a subframe? I remember this one cause the rails mounted to the FEL supports and ran parallel to the frame rails so as to not decrease ground clearance. Thanks in advance.

I can’t answer your question, but will be following this thread. I also have a BX 2200 and would like a backhoe. I know they require a special subframe to support the added stress/weight. I read that Kubota made a BX22 with a backhoe that had a subframe. If what I read was correct, the BX22 is basically a BX2200 except it also has the subframe addition to support the backhoe that comes with it.
