Backhoe Backhoe Attachment for a Kubota L3700

Can someone tell me what the model number is and where to find a backhoe attachment for my L3700? Where is a good place to look for used?
Thanks for the help.

L3750 series takes a 4540 or 4540A backhoe. Found the info by going to kubota.com and clicking on "prior products" at the bottom of page. Didn't see "L3700" specifically.

Used Backhoes are out there, may be hard to find in your area. Woods makes a good unit and probably has a subframe for your tractor. I did a lot of looking and only found old rusted, not used in a long time 3 PT unit or pretty good shape units that a subframe would have to be fabricated for almost as much as a new BH. I ended up frustrated and bought a new Mahindra, Subframe mounted from dealer and do not regret it.

If I remember correctly there were two backhoes for the L3700 the BH 77 and the BH92. For those that don't know the L3700 is a "special package" of the L3400 tractor. The "special package" was the Front end loader, and the drawbar, suspension seat, and cruise control were sold as options. It also was supposed to have 1 more horsepower than the L3400, but some of the late production L3400 had the same horsepower rating and had a sticker on them that said "extra power". My 2010 had such a sticker. I suspect but do not know for sure, that the current L3200 and L3800 tractors have the same backhoes now as the L3400 and L3700 did back then. A trip to your dealer would confirm that.

Thanks for the info. I'm kicking myself not getting the backhoe when I bought the whole unit. Maybe it's because I couldn't afford it at the time.:laughing:
