Does anyone have pictures of an 811 backhoe on a 843 with the bobcat add on hook brackets?

[chili81]

I'm brainstorming backhoe options for my new to me 843 and think I've sorted out the confusing matrix of what works with what officially.
So on the 843, the 811 is the backhoe that mounts with arms external to the cab (not the trailer ball hitches) via bobcat specific hook brackets that are really specific just to this one application. Seems like 811+843 or 911+843 were really the main options - with the 911 using the cab-internal trailer ball hitch mounts.

Long story short - since hook adapters do exist for the 843 to mount to the 811, I was hoping to see some pictures of it mounted up. Wondering if I could extend on them to be able to mount a much more common/recent backhoe - the 811/911 being harder to find.

Anyone have that exact combination they have or could take a few pictures of? The 843 with an 811? I do have good pictures from an ebay sale of the brackets themselves, but would really like to see them mounted - seems like a pretty close clearance situation.

Much obliged!

I thought I might have an old advertisement photo, but no luck. I included a photo of the mounting kit parts schematic just because it may help.

I do have the entire 24 page parts catalog for the 811 backhoe. If you want I could take photos of it and post it.

On that note, I have the “bobcat 800 ATTACHMENTS PARTS MANUAL” that covers all of the attachments for the 800 series skid steers from that time (1993).

Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that if I end up going down that road. If you notice any good diagrams showing it mounted and really where the hooks are located and how they fit between the tires and lift arms - that could be helpful to see. Every bit helps - I appreciate it!

I found a video of an 863 with an 811:

Here are some of an 811 on my 753. Yes it is too big but it digs way better than the 709 I have. Both attach with the hook style mount. I believe it is the same as your 843

 

[chili81]

Hey thanks - that helps a lot - especially knowing you have a 709 too. So you can actually mount either the 811 and 709 on your same hooks the way you have it? So the spread of the arms of the backhoe (part with the hook pins) must be the same then, and the setback or reach from the tach must be the same too then. That's interesting to hear. I'd love to get a 811 or 911 even, but they are so much more uncommon around me.

I have an 811 I had to retrofit mounting system for my S300. Great backhoe. I have a pair of those brackets available. Not sure which machine they are for, but I could get the part # off them and pics if you would need that. Excellent shape, if you may be interested. Not sure of your location. Thought this might help you out. Good luck.

That could work out well - if they have part numbers on them you can read I believe the 843 needs these two bracket part numbers:

6538152 6538146

If that's what you have, let me know and maybe we can work something out - I'm in CT/USA.

Thanks
