L2501 3rd Party Backhoe Advice

[Nutmg1]

Hello,
I am looking for a backhoe for my new 2021 L2501. My dealer is telling me subframes and backhoe's are backordered until at least June. I contacted Woods and they said they don't have a unit for the L2501 because of the subframe.

Thanks
Joe

Thanks for the hookup!! Looks like he's not selling a subframe. I assueme it burned with the tractor. I'm even having trouble finding the serial numbers for the proper Subframe for the L2501. Any ideas on where I would find that?

Thanks

here is a parts list (available from https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/).
