Can I make a BT601 backhoe from a BX fit on a B2650?

[Chris_]

Good afternoon, 1st post.

I have a 2016 BX25 and after owning it for a few years I've determined its a touch small for my needs. I've since bought a 2017 B2650.

The B2650 has a set of 2 rear remotes.

Is there any way, that I can make the BT601 (backhoe that fits the BX25), fit on my B2650?

I'm reasonably skilled on the fabrication side. I know nothing about hydraulics but I"m smart and allergic to paying anyone else to do something I can learn how to do.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?

I guess what I need to know is will the subframe fit (probably not) and if I need to reduce the hydraulic flow so the backhoe works. Anything else?

I plan on selling the BX once spring arrives. It would be nice to keep the backhoe but only if I can make it work on the B2650

1st thing I'd do, check online parts(K or M ) and see the layout and part numbers for the subframe units. The diagrams will show basic pieces maybe with hole locations, part numbers if same means they fit !!
If you need to make subframes, use 1/4" plywood as 'patterns'. A LOT easier to cut/drill wood than steel, and cheaper too !.
