Long post here. Cannot come up with a shorter version.
Main issue is I need a backhoe-loader to leave at a remote property. I have a Deere 1010 crawler-loader in great shape. Has a rear model #
35 ripper.
#1 ? I am considering putting a new 8.5' Chinese hoe attached to that rear ripper.
#2 ? Finding a full-size Deere model 50 or 51 hoe that will fit right on to the ripper-mount.
I have the new Chinese hoe. I suspect it is big enough for want I want to do. Plus is it is all new. Might be kind of small and light-
duty. It is set up for three-point hitch and came with a PTO hydraulic pump. No PTO on my 1010. So I'd have to find a way to hook it up to
the 1010 hydraulic system. Main system is 23 GPM with 1" lines. No way can the little control valve on this Chinese hoe pass that much.
The rear ripper has an up and down hydraulic function with 1/2" lines. 1/2" is good for around 6 GPM. This hoe is rated for 8 GPM - so
1/2" lines are almost adequate. I am wondering if I tie the raise lever in "up" and have that line running to the hoe - it will work well
enough?
I already have my small dozer up there. I also have my 641 Ford with a front loader and 5 foot brush cutter on back. I was kind of
hoping to find something worth buying locally for less then $4000 but have given up. I have two backhoes in the lower peninsula but I?d
kind of like not to move them.
My plan last summer was to get a three-point-hitch backhoe brand-new and put it on the Ford 641. I bought a brand-new hoe for $4400. Now
? I am rethinking things. I need the brush cutter and removing it and putting on that hoe, back and forth won?t be fun. Also, there is
not much of a front loader on that Ford.
By the way - if anyone knows of a Deere model 50 or 51 backhoe attachment for sale and not all rusted or worn out - in the Michigan area -
let me know. Doubtful - but who knows?
