Ray, sorry for not answering your question sooner. I don't always get time to go online and read the boards. In answer to your loader question, you would have to drop off the loader in order to use weights. An option would be to just drop off the bucket. The loader frame should provide some ballast and wouldn't stick out as far with the bucket removed. If you have any more questions please email directly at: paulh@woodsonline.com

Ted,

The Woods BH9000 is too large for th Cub Cadet 7275 model tractor. Woods does not produce any subframes for this application. The BH7500 subframe is only compatible with the Woods BH7500 and BH6500 and will not match the BH9000.

No matter how experienced you are with a backhoe, the BH9000 is simply too heavy and too powerful for the Cub 7275. Even if you were to find a way to mount the BH9000 on the Cub 7275 you would void your tractor warranty and risk serious injury to yourself and potential damage to the tractor frame.

Thank you for interest in Woods. We appreciate your business and would like to earn more of your business, but not at the risk of safety. If you have any more questions please email me directly at: paulh@woodsonline.com

Jim,

I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I do have some answers for you.

Between bucket force and dipperstick forces, the bucket forces will have more impact on the tractor. This is assuming that you have the stabilizers down and are on level ground.

As for mounting a 1050 on a TN90F, I would urge you to consider a Woods BH9000 instead. The BH9000 has a subframe available. The TN90F is heavy enough to handle a 1050, however the 3-point hitch arms are offset quite a bit. As you pointed out the tractor is barely larger than a Boomer. Unless you absolutely must have the extra 1.5 feet I think that the BH9000 would make a much better fit for the TN90F and you would then be able to use a subframe which is in my opinion a much better method of attaching a backhoe to a tractor. A subframe will better spread the forces out over the tractor frame. People don't realize how much stress and strain a backhoe can produce on the prime mover.

You also asked what was the most stressful aspect of a tractor mounted backhoe, transporting it, or using it. As you pointed out the experts differ on their opinions. In my experience (as well as that of my colleagues) it is very case dependant. Sometimes transporting it will create more stress, sometimes the application will create more stress. I'm sorry that I can't give you a more definite answer, but again there are just so many factors that affect stress on the tractor.

If you have any more questions please feel free to email me.

I'm an engineer for Woods Equipment Company. The trouble you are having is due to hydraulic pressure in the lines. This pressure can occur in either the tractor or the implement. Pressure can build up in a disconnected implement due to temperature changes.(e.g. the hot sun) The bottom line is that you need to relieve the pressure for easy hook up. Several people in this thread have already pointed out the some solutions.
With the engine off, operate the controls on the tractor to releive pressure in the tractor system.
For the implement depending on the couplings you can relieve the pressure by pressing the coupling against a clean solid surface. Covering the coupling with a rag is a good idea. Some couplings (flat face for example)don't work that easily. You may need a wrench to loosen the fitting to let a few drips of oil escape. That should do it in most cases.
