Kubota L4610 and 3 point backhoes

[RGrizzzz]

Looking for a backhoe for our L4610. Budget and market seems to dictate a 3 point backhoe. We're only going to use it for light duty projects. Probably a shallow trench, and maybe some tree planting. We're find a number of Woods BH 7500-1 and a Kubota L4690B. Any concerns, aside from the 3 point mounting, on these hoes with the tractor? Anything we should make sure we get? HD toplink?

One has a thumb as well. Definitely preferred. Thanks!

An adjustable rigid toplink is part of the Wood's 3Pt. BH package and comes with it.

I used a Wood's BH750 3Pt BH on my Kubota L4200 for years and sold it along with the tractor when I was ready to purchase my current Kubota.

Contact Woods Customer Support and ascertain what is required to attach a three point Woods backhoe to your tractor model. Be safe, not sorry no phone call was made.

Pulling the trigger on the woods bh7500-1. Talked to Woods and they "recommend" the subframe kit on their old 3 point models. Sounds like they don't make 3 point models anymore and are trying to avoid liability. $1600 for a subframe on a $3200 backhoe is a bit much for light/limited use.

Yes, that's half the price of the whole BH. Does seam a bit high, even though a sub-frame is the best way to go.

Although I had absolutely no problems with the 3Pt hitch design I used with my old L4200 Kubota for many years. And I did a lot of digging with it. Purchased it new many years ago and used it on three different tractors without a problem.
