[QUOTE="billrbg, post: 78038, member: 10970"] Have you done any backhoe work yet? You may find that being able to mount it off-center isn't of great benefit. I have a (heavier) 743 with 909 backhoe and find the there isn't enough weight, many times, to keep the hoe from dragging the B'cat around. When the hoe is straight out from the 743 this isn't too much of a problem, it just drags you along the trench you are digging. However, if the hoe is at much of an angle, then you have to constantly re-position the B'cat, and are limited to how hard a "bite" you can take with the hoe. I'm guessing that an off-center mounted hoe would have similar (maybe worse) limitations. Understand, I HAVE used the hoe for digging at up to a right-angle (full boom swing) from the B'cat where access was limited, but digging like that is real slow... [/QUOTE]
