Nice, very similar to what I got (got them at home depot, not sure of the brand). Where'd you get the weight on your BH77? Kubota lists my BH65 at 1400 lbs and I assume it's smaller.

Strange that Kubota doesn't include the BH77 weight "up-front" in the Op manual or brochure . . . but I saw that weight, 850 lb *somewhere*! Searching the net, it's listed on this page as 850 lb: BH77 Kubota BACKHOES

As well, from moving and dealing with machinery (I have a "hobby" machine shop at my hangar), 850 lb "seems" about what it should weigh, rather than 1400.

Note that the BH77, as equipped for mounting on the new B50 series tractor, probably weighs at least 100 lb more that the normal version as it has a bolt on extension to move the 4 point mount almost a foot (I think 11") further out. This due to the clearance issue with the enclosed cab. The net effect is the operator position is still a bit cramped if you're tall, and the extension causes a bit more aggravation when transporting the rig with a trailer.

Also, when I had my B3350 delivered, we did some doe-see-doeing getting the attachments off the truck. With the backhoe on, and the loader removed, you can lift the front of the tractor with one hand! Totally weird as the tractor willingly does wheelies and doesn't steer worth a darn in that config.

That weight sounds more reasonable. I could only find the bh65 weight as the 'shipping weight' in the specs... I bet its closer to 700-800 and the 1440 is a typo, or maybe includes the sub frame or something. I never tried it without the FEL, but the light front end doesn't surpise me. A loaded carry-all of wood does the same thing on mine.

Hey, Bumperm... another aviator? Still working on my license, but have spent the last two years (almost) fixing stuff. Bucket list kind of thing, nearing retirement, shoestring budget, but I got myself a '56 PA-22-150 and have been having a blast (most of the time) learning how to fix full-scale things with wings.... Here's my baby:
