will 709 backhoe work on a 763?

[carl johansson]

Hey guys,
I just came across a used 709 backhoe attachment that sure looks like it would be fun. but before i go any further toward lunacy, will my 763 carry and pump enough to run that 709 attachment (I do not believe my 763 is HO, if that matters)
and what would be a resasonable price for the backhoe attachment, used , in good condition?
thanks
congratulations Tazza, you are a true icon in the skid steer world, and have helped a whole boatload of people, including me, numerous times - thanks so much!

You'll need to get the large cast iron brackets that attach to the 763 under the "fenders" at the front of the machine. Those can be found on eBay for about $250 but shipping is going to be brutal. I purchased a decent 709 from local Bobcat for $2500 and I thought I got a good deal. Minimal slop in the pins, good hoses, 12" bucket and good seat. Expect to pay $2500 to $4500. Note that backhoe has an early version of a "quick change" bucket. You remove two bolts and a bracket, then the bucket can be slipped off. Handy, but not exactly "quick change".
