I assume the implements forum is the place to ask this.. there is an auction coming up for an ARPS 3pt Cat II backhoe attachment. They say the hydraulic lines are falling apart, but otherwise it's in good condition. A nice guy at Amerequip (makers of ARPS) says it's a decent hoe and parts are available. I have a client who makes hoses, so that's not a problem. Are these good hoes, and what would you give for one?

Thanks,

Darren

I picked up an Arp875 a few years ago for a grand. Ok for ditching, etc....pretty slow on stumps. But I don't expect too much from a 3pt hoe. I'm surprised you talked to Ameriquip. I've asked for a manual and parts list 5 times and can't get an answer from anyone but secretary. I ended up taking packings to hyd shop to match them up. A 12' Kelly or equivelent would probably suit your 656 better. International made a pretty stout one too, 3408 or something like that. If you have a lot of stumps, go big or stay home (or hire a grinder)

Mac,

No stumps with this one. I am going to use it for trenching and basic landscape type digging. Nothing commercial. SOunds like if I could get this for a reasonable price it might work. I tried to buy an IH 3082 last weekend, but it went for $2900.. more than I wanted to spend. It looked like a pretty darn sturdy operation though.

Thanks for the info!

Darren

I don't know anything about the backhoe you are talking about but. I have a son who works in the excavating buisness. I mentioned one time to him that if we had something like that that went on the 3 point, we could do a lot of things. His answer was that in the spring when there is plenty of moisture in the ground, any machine can did a decent hole, even a shovel in the hands of a weback. But when it gets to July or August and hasn't rained for a couple of months, you need a heavy duty hoe, substantially bolted to the frame of a heavy tractor. He thinks the ones on the 3 point would ride up when you put down pressure on it as there is no down pressure on a 3 point. Just my opinion.

Delbeert,

Yeah, I have heard similar, and if I was going to use it for anything other than puttering around and digging some trenches, I would probably go subframe mount. Basically I am looking for something that can be vastly enhanced "shovel" and even do some other bigger stuff if I am a little more patient.
