Hi - New member, first posting. I have a Bobcat T200 (owned for over a year) and I want to buy a backhoe attachment for it (immediate need to bury over 700 feet of water line). I'm curious which model would be recommended? I talked with my local Bobcat dealer today and he said I will need to buy a 709 or 811 and a "mounting plate kit" (~$600 for the kit) since the backhoe needs to attach to the Bobcat frame, not just the quick attach plate. I have other digging projects on the horizon beyond just trenches that's wy I'm looking toward a backhoe and not a trencher attachment. I have no experience with a backhoe attachment so I'm asking for some kindly advice/guidance. I'm curious what a mounting plate kit is, where it mounts on the frame, how the 'hoe attachment mounts to it, etc. A picture or 3 would be awesome! I've located an 8709 within driving distance of home for a reasonable price... Soil here is rocky clay. Thank you in advance, Michael
