I have a kubota b7510 and would like to now wheter to get the woods bh6000 or the bx70x backhoe for my tractor will be used light use around the house. I just got a price for 5300.00 installed with 4 point subframe . my only concern is the seperate seat on this subframe versus a swivel seat. I want the backhoe to look like part of the tractor and not an attachment can anyone help with some info or a picture thanks Tim

In my opinion, the BH6000 is a better fit than the BH70. Woods adds counterweight to the front of the 7610 when the BH70 is installed..... to me this means the 70 is a little too much hoe for that tractor. I don't believe you will find and swivel seat kit for your tractor. You will need to purchase a new 2X20 series with the factory Kubota to get a singe, swivel seat.
Thanks for the info that is the first I heard of the kubota hoe. all I have seen is the bh65 and bh75 backhoes for the new 26 series. my biggest problem with kubota is after they change the model they stop making products for the later models. Or at least thats what the local dealer tells me. does anyone know if the 4 point frame mounted bh6000 with its own seat looks like a good fit on the b7510. I just do not want it sticking to far out and not looking like part of the tractor. any pictures would be great

I just installed a BH6000 on my B7510. The 4 point sub frame was $1200.00 and the Woods BH6000 was $4000.00. I did the install myself. In my opinion, if Kubota did make a swivel seat for a B7500 / B7510, it would not get you close enough to the back hoe controls. The sub frame comes with hydraulic kit and seat kit.

The install is not difficult, definitely something a do-it-yourselfer can do. You will, however, need to educate yourself on your tractors hydraulic system. That can be done by reading threads right here on TBN on other people's installations. To power your hoe, you will need to tap into your tractor's power beyond circuit in the hydraulic system. Honestly, two hundred dollars to have the dealer do the install is very reasonable in my opinion. You will most definitely love your new backhoe...... it completely turns your tractor into a different tool. 
sounds like I am going to do the install myself and take the money I was going to spend on labor and add the thumb. I am sure I can handle the install as I do mechanical maintenance for a living. does anyone know approx. how long the install takes? I assume you have to add oil to the hydraulic system. I am new to this sight and still am learning how to navigate thru it any help on how to find the threads on the installs would be great

Up toward the top of the page you will see 'search' between Main Index and My Home. You can use words like 'power beyond' 'backhoe installation' 'subframe' and such to narrow down your search. You'll find pleny of help and advice here, but its always best to read up first, then ask questions for particular concerns rather than expect a full explanation on the whole process up front. Most topics are discussed often enough that folks wont take the time to type out paragraph after paragraph on a given subject matter week after week. I did my own backhoe install on two tractors, its not difficult. I'm gonna guess that the subframe install will take a few hours. It probably takes more time to torque the bolts than the rest of the whole install. Assuming you get the hydraulic kit from Woods, hooking up the power beyond loop to the rear of your tractor should be pretty straight forward. You will want to keep in mind the hoe will be heavy. Getting it out of your truck or trailer to prepare it for the install will be a challenge. I'd probably plan on a whole saturday to prep the hoe, install the subframe, and hook up the hydraulic lines.
