[QUOTE="CUT_TLB, post: 9339, member: 1198"] Long post....and my first one! I am considering the purchase of a SS, and I have some questions. I have no experience with SSs, operating or owning, but I have lots with compact tractors w/ backhoe attachments and some with mini-excavators. I have read thru old threads that mention using a b/h on a SS, so I am trying not to cover too much old ground here. I install b/hs on tractors, after custom fabbing subframes. I have been asked to install one on a SS. If I do it, I will buy a SS to get experience and test the resulting installation and operation. > accross the brands, how standard is the QA mechanism? If I buy a Bobcat 743, will it attach to the same implements that a Mustang can, for example? > assuming the SS can lift the weight of the hoe (1200# for mine), are there other capacity concerns? I only need 5-6 GPM hyd flow. > when operating a b/h with the SS, is there a way to move the SS while in the hoe seat? It seems like a nightmare to have to get off the hoe and crawl into the "cage" every time you need to move the SS, esp when trenching. On my tractors, I can reach around and creep the tractor, or drag it with the hoe dipper. > do most b/hs attached to SSs use some kind of bracket to strengthen the attachment to the loader or frame?
