The BMC Series LD6, Fig 1. and MD8, Fig 2. Backhoes are shipped complete (crated) less mounting kit and
bucket. To mount either of the basic Backhoes to a tractor, a mounting kit (for a specific tractor model) is required.
Also required is one of the three bucket options for the LD6 and one of the four for the MD8. Items unique to each tractor fit
up (pressure / return hoses, seat assemblies, mounting bolts, etc.) are included in the mounting kit for each tractor.
The BMC Series LD6 and MD8 Backhoe can be installed from the crate to the tractor in a matter of a few hours. The
