Backhoe for JD855

I'm trying to find a backhoe for my JD855. It looks like I can't go wrong with the JD Model 7, except for the price. Does anyone have any experience with a Kelly or Woods (or other) for this application? It looks like the specs compare very favorably, but I'm worried about durability and ease of use. Also, how heavy a hoe could this tractor handle? It weighs about 2500 lbs w/loader, 1900 w/o. Thanks.

The JD855 can handle a Kelley B600(6'6") mounted on the 3 point. The B750(8') requires a frame mount kit. I've mounted the B750 on a JD955 & have had no complaints.I'm offering a 20% discount on stock on hand. Contact me at sheaftractor@coiinc.com or 815-284-3226 for more details. ....

Thanks for the response. My 855 has a subframe for a hoe.  I'd prefer that over a hitch mount unit. Can the B600 be frame mounted like the JD model 7?  Is it powered from the tractor hydraulics or PTO? ....
