I am looking for a backhoe attachment for my John Deere 770 Compact Utility tractor. The tractor is 24-HP, has a 3-pt hitch and has a rear lift rating of 815-lbs. I've read much that has been posted on this web-site about problems that others have had.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to a good brand and model for my tractor?

The #7 john deere back hoe was made for the 7 series tractors 755/750/770/790. I have a #7 hoe on my 790 which is the 770 with 30 hp. Although the hoe is a little under powered compared to the other after market hoes, you will never have to worry about breaking the tractor. Most of these tractors weigh under 2100 lbs. It was designed for this tractor series as most of JD equipments designs and is a frame mount NOT a (3Pt hitch type where breakage has been a problem for all compact tractors) although the 770/790 are dated tractors they also have excellent track records. I have seen lightly used #7's go for around $4,000 at machinery finder/ e-bay and ads. ....
