Buying Advice Looking for an LB2102 backhoe

MoCoHogHunter · Jun 28, 2020

Greetings,

I bought my xr4040hc 4 years ago and wanted to get the backhoe with it, but couldn’t swing the cost then. Now I have the cash and plenty of work for it, but with the model line changes I can’t find one (go figure).

I still have a few dealers searching (doesn’t look promising), but may end up adding an MT125 TLB to the fleet...

Before I pull the trigger on that I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see if any of y’all had the backhoe collecting dust and would be interested in parting with it?

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

Will be a LONG TIME ...... looking for that backhoe needle in a haystack!

Hard to believe that a newer model will not bolt up to it. Hard to believe they didn't use almost the same subframe on the XR4100 series.

If I am not mistaken, this is the exact same backhoe.

I believe it bolts right up to the ladder style sub frame mount from LS. You will likely need to purchase one of those too. I remember seeing a thread https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums...11-backhoes-subframes-ls.html?highlight=titan that showed this.

Apparently some of the subframe attachment components did change throughout the model run, not exactly sure what/how, but on the plus side they do seem to be available now. The two dealers I talked with late Friday didn’t sound interested in selling me one - maybe they just had a long week. Got a hold of two others today and the response was much better.

Good info, Avenger - Thanks!
