Backhoe BT751 weight (B21 b/h)

[joea99]

What is the actual weight of the BT751 backhoe?

Does not seem to be called out anywhere, but the WSM calls out the weight of the frame/FOPS/ROPS/FEL as 2858 lbs.

Various sources list the B21 between 3836-3990 suggesting the b/h is around 1000 pounds.

Asking as I am considering 3-pt hitch implements and adding weight may be an issue.

Backhoe weight and 3pt hitch weights are not comparable. Owners and WSM should list 3pt hitch capacities with implement types. How far back the implement weight is matters. I use a 3pt woods finish mower on both the B20 and B26 which probably exceeded both. Especially with Pat’s quick hitch.

An older wholegoods price sheet post should list or could figure out weight of just the backhoe. I think all TLBs could be bought without a backhoe as a TL. Buckets, thumb, outrigger pads and other accessories add weight. Had to ship and lift a BT1200 backhoe to the farm and that is what I used to calculate weight.
