I've found an NH B124 backhoe attachment that fits an L550 skidsteer and would like to know if the mount will plug and play on my LX565 or if it has to be adapted. It's worth the price if it's P&P but not such a good deal if I have to make an adapter. Has anyone had an opportunity to try this swap?

Got a call from the seller of the B124 backhoe regarding my question about fitting the unit to my LX565. He said that the unit does not have a universal mounting plate. Without that I don't see that it would be possible, without a lot of adapting hardware, to fit it to my s'steer. It would sure be nice to have a cross reference chart showing what skidsteer models share compatible backhoe attachments. It seems that some JD backhoe attachments will also bolt directly to some NH skidsteers, but without a cross reference it would be near impossible to know what will fit and what won't.

It might take a little bit to make it work but no one can tell you if it is worth the trouble unless you tell the price they are asking
