Will a John Deere Pro 911 backhoe work with a Bobcat 751?

[Rlachermeier]

Has anyone used a John Deere 911 backhoe attachment on a 751? There's one going out at auction that I'm thinking of bidding on. If this combination works I'll probably get rid of my Case 580CK.

That hoe might be a bit much for a 751, the hydraulic system will run it no problem but the hoe itself might be too big and just pull the machine around as you dig… best would be to compare the specs to a Bobcat 709 or 607 as those were built for the 750 series machines… if you can get it for a good enough price though why not try it out…

Thanks for the reply. The auction goes out in a couple days. Like you said if the price is right I may pick it up. Pulling the machine around is a concern. Unlike a mini ex it doesn't have a way of pinning the back of the machine down with a blade for leverage. If this doesn't work out I may be looking into a mini excavator.
