Backhoe BH77 broke - defective part?

[wdchyd]

That's great they'll take care of you.......

It's too bad they don't use a shouldered pin that is threaded w/nuts on each end to help stabilize the assembly and keep the ears from opening up under stress.....

Any machine is only as good as it's weakest point.....:confused2:

Hmmm, I'm concerned. I haven't even tried my new BH77 on my 3300 yet as I've been out of town while it was installed.

Certainly going to be asking my Kubota rep if he's aware of any issues.

Mine should be back on Tuesday. Check with your dealer and see if you have the "new" pin in yours. I stopped by and looked at mine all in pieces, it is a big job and hopefully never happens again.

Hey guys, New one here. I have been reading you site now for about a year.

Last night my wife let it slip that she ordered me a BH for my L3800 (funny story but way to long for first time post).
So, I come in to work jump on here to read up on this $7000 dollar BH77 that my wonderful wife is letting me have and BAM,,,, Broke pins.... I do think I am going to have a long talk with my dealer today. Wish me luck.

O yeah, I have a jumpy 3ph, anyone know how to fix it !

Good Luck Talla......You'll find lots of reading on that here.....

I think you will be ok, It seems this was a problem on the older units that is being addressed, I would still talk it over with your dealer to be sure but the new units should be ok, if I remember correct it was a bad batch of pins and the problem was in a certain range of serial numbers on the backhoes. Anyway enjoy your new toy.:thumbsup:

I hope your right. I will be sure to let you guys know how it works out this weekend. There coming to pick my baby up today to add the bh77. You guys think I should get the thumb and the rubber pads?

I got the thumb on mine and it does come in handy.
