B7610 Backhoe Information???

[jlbota]

I am in the market for a new Kubota Tractor with an FEL and backhoe. Just wondered if anyone here had some feedback on the B7610 with a backhoe and how it performs.
Pictures would be great.....as my dealer doesn't have any in stock so I couldn't see how they mounted up on the tractor.
Do these hoes have a subframe?
I am also considering a new B3030 with the same setup.

I don't know about a B7610 but I can show you my brand new B3030 with a BH75. I have 4 pics for you.

I particularly like this one. 4th

I see you used to have a BX23. What made you decide on the B3030 vs the other models? I am curious as I had a BX22 that I sold at the end of last summer.

The B3030 is an awesome looking machine.

A B7610 will use a B4672 BH.
I did a quick search for a B4672. Got lots of hits. Here is one thread that has some pictures of the B4672 and B4690, which is the same BH with a little longer reach. Click Here

Thanks....I tried doing a search before I posted but I wasn't coming up with much.
I really like the setup of the B3030 backhoe better I think. But now I see they may be having problems with bending cylinders? /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. I am sure it will be resolved but that happening in the middle of a job would be a bit aggravating. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

To tell you the truth, I've never really looked at models like B75xx or B76xx (great tractors though). I know very few information on those models.

I was happy with my BX23, but I've changed because I want a more powerful loader (bucket and forks), backhoe (BH75 has more reach than a BT600 and is a bit more powerful than a backhoe on a B21) and 3PH. More PTO HP (last winter I used a 64" rear snowblower on my BX23. It was limit. PTO HP on a BX 16.7, 23 on a B3030). That's all.

Sorry, I know that I'm not of big help here.

The B7610 is a small step down from my B2910.

I would expect it digs similar to what mine does, with just a little less reach... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Reaching down to clean out a ditch or, in the case of the attached photo, to find something like a sewer lateral, is the part I enjoy the most... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Great picture! This is one of the reasons I am considering the B3030 because of its decent reach with the backhoe. I may have to look at a B7800 also.
I have alot of drainage fixes to be done at our new property as well as maintaining a creek that runs through and culvert.
Rock walls and such to build also.
The BX22 was a great machine but I think a bigger machine will suit me better.

Hi jlbota,

I bought a 7510, FEL, MMM, BH about 8 mouths ago. Love the tractor but it was a little under powered from what I was used to using (JD 3010 65HP). Took the 7510 back and upgraded to a B7800 and 402 FEL. It does everthing I need around the farm and I'm sure got alot more to finish. The backhoe is a 4972, wish I'd got the next size up but it will dig bigger stumps than the tractor can push. (wish I had taken a picture of that monster) But anyway, I'm really happy with the 7800.
I dont have a full picture of the tractor and BH, But here is some of my built it myself pic's of some add on's I've built.
I Love it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When doing a search, make sure the Date Range is to greater than 1 week. That's the first thing I check when no hits show up from a search.

Ahhh...that's better.

Wet winter caused mudslide behind a friend's shop.

I'll leave this rock ...for now.

I got a free turkey hoagie and coke out of him. We shared the bag of chips.

I have done some work excavating and trenching with my B4672A backhoe on my B7610. I'd have bought a B7800 with a BL4690B 'hoe with it's greater reach if the tractor would have been able to drive down the narrow passage way alongside my shop. The five foot width limited the size to the B7610 and smaller 'hoe.

Here is a shot of the start of digging alongside a shed elsewhere on the property.
