Got my new B3030 - Came with a BH76 Backhoe

[caj4isu]

Hey guys - I got my new B3030 yesterday.

It ends up that my dealer couldn't order a BH75A backhoe for the B3030, and Kubota had him order a BH76. It was few hundred dollars more, but has the capability of putting a Kubota mechanical thumb on it.

My 66" light material bucket for the FEL wasn't delivered yet, so my dealer loaned me a new 72" light material bucket until mine comes in. That thing is wide, but I can really haul a lot of wood in it!!

Berlon light duty pallet forks, 40A alternator upgrade & single-lever rear hydraulic outlet haven't been delivered yet, but should be in soon. I'm going to put the alternator and rear hydraulics on myself.

Here's the price breakdown:

B3030 HSD Foldable ROPS, LA403 FEL w/o Bucket, 60" MMM = $19,402

ATI Tach-All Skid steer bracket for B3030 = $ 700

66" Kubota Light Material Bucket for skid steer QA= $ 581

40A Alternator kit and 1-lever rear hydraulic outlet kit = $ 851

BH76 Backhoe w/ 12" bucket = $ 7,474

Berlon 42" lightweight pallet forks = $ 720

TOTAL $29,728

Gotta go work that sticker off the backhoe now!!

Congrats with the new purchase!!! That bucket does make the machine look a little undersized. Would be a great snow bucket though.

Congratulation on your new toy I mean tool. Very nice setup. I had good luck with my previous tractor, a B3030. I am sure you will enjoy it .

NICE SETUP. I'm going to also get a bh76 in a week or two. I thought th bh76 came with the swivel seat?

The swivel seat was one thing I was worried about when my dealer told me he had to go with the BH76. The only place I had seen the BH76 was on the B3200 on the Kubota web site, and it had a swivel seat. Mine came with a separate seat for the backhoe - I have to flip the tractor seat forward and then I can flip the backhoe seat down. I haven't tried to move the tractor seat forward a little to see if I can have both down at the same time. I'll give it a shot. I'm 6'0", and like the seat all the way back, but maybe I can live with it forward a little bit.

I don't know if when the dealer places the order if they have to specify which tractor it's going on? Maybe if it goes on a B3200, they throw in the swivel seat components too. I'm guessing that the B3200 doesn't come standard with a swivel seat.

I'm just wondering if I have a choice, I didn't think I did, but maybe I do!
