<font color="blue"> The local Bradco backhoe dealer says the BH90 is way to big for the tractor and tells me his 3375 will do everything a BH90 will and costs less then $5000.00. I'm knew to this and would really appreciate any help you can give. thanks </font>
For that much difference in price I would ask that dealer to prove it. Same reach, digging debth, and identical or superior specifications for all the other functions? 4 point VS 3PH hook up?
Sounds to me like the Bradco dealer wants to make a sale...
As mentioned above, perhaps there is a need to have the larger loader on your 3130 so the additional brackets needed can hook to it. I know on my
B2910 there are longer than standard brackets that do attach to the loader frame, even though the BL4690 backhoe is a 3PH mount.
From what I can see, the BH90 is a really nice setup. I would have one in a minute if it made sense for me, but with only 3.7 acres it just does not...boo hoo... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
You might also ask that Bradco dealer if he will put in writing that using his hoe on your machine will not void the warrenty...just for kicks. I know his answer already, but don't know if it is true or not...
You might also ask what it would cost to upgrade to the larger loader and buy the BH90 at the same time. In the long run you will thank yourself for having a loader with more capacity. But I guess I should not say what you would do...let me rephrase that to "I would thank myself..." /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Not sure if there is any trade in possibility on a loader or not though...
edit: Forgot to add that I have a BL4690A on my
B2910. It is totally fine and a good match. If your Bradco dealer's logic was sound, then my setup would also be a poor match, which it is by far not at all...
