Backhoe financing

[shucksters]

How do those of you with cab tractors like the backhoe? It seems like that would make it a less appealing option. For that matter 13k makes it a less appealing option. I bought my BH-90 for 4K used.

Cab changed my life for the better for the past 5 years - never looked back. My backhoe was 9K brand new and installed....very happy

Speaking of cab. Can you open the window of the tractor and sit on the seat to run the hoe ? Curious how much head clearance there is in case you wanted to listen to the radio while digging

Nope- have to get out and go around back and climb on the backhoe which has it's own seat.

My inclination would be to leave it in low turtle, defeat the seat safety switch. Then attach a stick/linkage to the go pedal & loader joystick to operate things from the how seat. Would work for trenching or minimal adjustments in a straight line. Not likely to be useful for any other than lifting the loader & going straight.

I do understand for moving the machine, having to jump in the tractor. Just curious if you could have the rear window open to listen to the radio.

Any update to see if you can sit in the seat while rear window open ?

Yep- doesn't work. The rear window sits too low when it's flipped up- seat is too close to it
