    you need to see if a mount kit is available for that combination

    Hi Crewchief thanks for your reply. So are you saying that the S185 is powerful enough and heavy enough to carry and power the attachment if it can be configured to fit it? Thanks again, B-Crazy

    actually the more i think about it, the 709 BH is possibly the correct BH attachment for a mid frame S-185. i think the 811 is gonna be way too heavy, and uses a much heavy and different attachemnt system. best thing to do is call your local dealer, tell them what you have, and have them look up the attachment mounting kit.
