Questions on D100 backhoe

[Merchlewitz]

I have a lead on this but have questions.. did they ever make this without the legs or arms that come down? Or were they taken off on this?

Some of the trenchers did not have outriggers or stabilizers on them. I think they did this because they used the dozer blade under the hoe as a stabilizer. It appears that there was only a limited time period for this and then they went to having swing down stabilizers with the blade.

You are correct, there’s a blade there.. would that come with the backhoe? And is that even feasible to have on a 648?

It appears that the blade is a separate implement that is attached under the trencher. I don't know how that would go on a tractor.

Does it even make sense to pick something like this up then? Also below the tractor where the are 3 arms and to mount these does there need to be brackets welded on?

Unless you are looking to fab your own outriggers onto this hoe I think I would pass.
@Spike188 should have some pics of how the mounting goes.

Are the outriggers/legs welded to the backhoe or? Curious..

This is a link to pictures of the outrigger frame used with the 64x series tractors. The frame in the foreground is upside down for painting. The outriggers are standing up and to the left.

I tried to find a picture of the back of mine. Hope this helps.

I can tell you on my 648 the stabilizers are a must. The back hoe just drags the tractor around with out them. I’m not sure if you can add out riggers to the one you’re looking at. I guess it would depend on how much fabrication work you want to do.

Thanks for the info guys going to have a look at this today.. maybe if it’s cheap enough idk..? Lol
