Loaders & Backhoes for Franklin
That's a Bad Boy store. Robertson County pasture and fence lines keep a loader busy most of the year. On a Bad Boy tractor, the front loader quick attach is part of the tractor. Bad Boy front grapples, pallet forks and hay spears go on that loader. Need a backhoe? One's available for the Bad Boy 1025, model BBH105, through our Bryan store. Running another tractor? Call the Bryan store and ask what fits it. Come take a look at what's on the lot, or browse our implements on j5tractors.com.
A front loader scoops, lifts, and carries dirt and debris on your place, while a backhoe digs and trenches for jobs a loader alone can't handle. A loader handles the everyday work: moving dirt, stacking hay, and clearing brush. A backhoe takes on the deeper jobs, like setting posts, digging a pond edge, or running a line to the barn. Both fit most brands of tractor. That's a lot in one hookup. Our parts counter carries pieces for these attachments, and our service department handles repairs when something breaks. You don't have to guess what fits your tractor. Browse our implements on j5tractors.com to find the right attachment for your place.

Questions people ask
What attachments go with the loader on my tractor?
A front grapple, pallet forks or a hay spear can all ride on a loader's quick attach. Bad Boy makes each of those, and our Bryan store can order them. Check that the attachment's mount matches your loader's quick-attach plate. A grapple handles brush and logs. Forks move pallets, pipe and feed. A spear carries round bales. Out back, a box blade or land grader finishes the ground. You'll get more out of a loader with the right tool on it. Bring your tractor's make and model so you're matching the right mount.
Do you carry used loader attachments or other implements at the Bryan store?
Our Bryan store carries new Bad Boy implements. The lot changes, so what's there one week may be gone the next. Hunting for a used grapple or set of forks? Give the Bryan store a call and ask what's around. Looking at a used one? Check the pins, the welds and the mount before you pay. A cracked weld or a worn mount plate is a sign of hard use. Bring your loader's quick-attach details so you know it'll fit. It saves a second trip.
How do I keep a loader or backhoe attachment running well on my tractor?
Grease the pivot pins and loader arms often, especially if you're running it daily on fence or brush work. Check hydraulic hose fittings for leaks before each big job. A slow leak gets worse under load. Pins and bushings wear first on a loader that works rough ground. When they get sloppy, replace them before they wear the holes oval. Look at grapple tines and fork tips for cracks too. Our shop works on tractors, implements and mowers. If something's loose, worn or leaking, call the store and ask about bringing it in.
Will your shop take care of a loader or backhoe attachment after I buy it?
Yes. Our service department works on tractors, implements and mowers after the sale. Wear happens over time. If a pin works loose, a hose starts leaking or a grapple tine cracks, call and set up a time to bring it in. The parts counter handles orders for pins, bushings, hoses and cutting edges. Have the make and model handy when you call. A photo of the worn part helps too. So does a note on when the problem shows up, like a leak that only drips under load.
Can I get a backhoe for my tractor through the Bryan store?
For the Bad Boy 1025, yes. A backhoe is available for the 1025 sub-compact, model BBH105, through our Bryan store. Running a different tractor? Call the Bryan store and ask what fits it. Have its make and model handy. Then think about what you're digging. A trench for a water line, footings or fence post holes all point to a backhoe. Moving dirt you've already dug is loader work. Grapples, forks, box blades and rotary cutters cover the rest of the place. That's a lot of jobs from one tractor.
