Kubota B2650 backhoe question

GSmith4965 · Mar 27, 2015

Currently have a B2320 with a virtually new BH65 backhoe. Im interested in upgrading the tractor to a B2650 Cab model. Can anyone tell me if the BH65 would fit the BH 77 subframe recommended for the B2650? Sure would like to be able to use it instead of having to buy a new BH77. Can someone please help?

Isn't there a BH65 subframe available for the 2650?

Thats a good question, i do not know. The spec/sale brochure lists a BH77 as the intended BH. Anyone else comment?

I'd be surprised if it did fit, since the 2320 is significantly smaller than the 2650. You could probably build a custom subframe/cradle to make it fit though, perhaps by modifying the one for the BH77.

Both the old B3200 and new B2650/3350 use the BH77, while the older B2320/2620/2920 use the BH65. New B2301/2601 use a BH70.

Might want to see if anyone ever put a BH65 on a B3200, which may be an analogous process to doing it on a 2650.

Well the 2620 and 2920 support the BH65. I definitely would check to see if the B2650 has a BH65 subframe.

And possibly your current subframe will fit asis or with a reasonable mod.

Can't your dealer determine this for you?

If you trade or sell your old tractor with the bh65 then the upcharge to go to the bh77 should be less than trying to swap out the hoes and you get a new bh with your new tractor. Seems like the best of both worlds. Just saying!

The 2620 and 2920 are both smaller tractors though. The new 2650 and 3350 are the same size as the old 3200, and all three share the BH77.
