Hi, I posted this on the attachments forum also. I have had a 743 for about 10 years and now my wife and I are going to build a log home. Of course, just with a bucket the 743 will be very useful, but I would also like to get a backhoe attachment for it. I notice that there is a lot of talk in these forums about the 709 backhoe, is this too big for the 743? Are the smaller backhoes that Bobcat manufactures out there on the used market? I am also looking at this http://www.lackender-fab.com/boomer-hydra-swing.cfm as a possibility. Does anyone have any experience with the lackender product? Thanks for very much in advance for any help. Tom
 
The 709 would be a good fit for your 743. A 16 inch bucket is what most of them have. You will need the attachment brackets for a 743. With a little bit of shopping you should be able to find a used set. dennis
