Are there any concerns or comments on installing a MODEL NO. BH9000-01 woods backhoe on a 1970 IH 434 with loader? Should I be concerned about breaking 3 point arms or any other parts?
Thanks
 
I'm not real well versed on that tractor though it is going to be similar to the 574 family of tractors I believe. I don't believe the hitch components will be a problem. I do believe that the hydraulics will be. Since all those tractors only have about a 12GPM pump in them, and they siphon off about 3 GPM for steering and trans lubrication. The problem will be the hoe will be slow operating due to the lack of pump volume. I could be wrong. that would be my concern if I wanted to do much digging I would just find a used TLB for the job. I'm kind of in that boat for some digging work right now.

Thanks for the input, I will look at the GPM. I did not think about that. Output and backhoe requirements.
 

434 is not as advanced at the worldwide series like a 574.

Way less GPM, PTO pump be good idea.

A small 3pt back made for a compact likely won't hurt it too much.

Thanks for the input. I guess the industrial tractors that guys are selling with the backhoes are a better match
