Possible bh77 backhoe

[bandit67]

I had a BH75 on my 2008 B3030. I traded it in 2012 for my B3000 with BH77. The Backhoe only comes off when I need to use a 3pt implement. I still use the Backhoe all the time, for all sorts of tasks - planting trees, trenching, slash cleanup, tree & firewood processing, stump removal, and on and on. This summer, I FINALLY converted my mechanical thumb to hydraulic. Don't know why I waited so long to do that! I also have a QA so I can quickly swap between 12" & 16" buckets, and a ripper. Both backhoes on both machines, spanning 14 years now, were well worth the investment as far as I'm concerned.

If it's five hours away, I'd go to the Kubota dealer first and ask them to print you off a parts list that shows everything in the kit. That way after you drive 5 hours, at least you can make sure you're getting EVERYTHING. To many horror stories of people not getting all the brackets and mounts.

Make sure it comes with the sub frame that goes with your tractor,they can be forever to get or not able to at all.
2 different ways 77s are sold ..long sticks ,because the seat on your tractor spins around.or with a seperate seat and short sticks.
I know this because i bought a new 77 without the seat (because my b3300su seat spun around)i converted it to a short sticked with the seat.it was pricy.
I did it so because first i didnt want to keep reversing my seat,and if i ever wanted a different tractor i could keep this hoe(i might have to build a sub frame though)
THE 77 is a valuable tool in itself it lifts my logs up to cut to firewood(it has the thumb.

I have a BH77 that came with my L3301 that I bought used. I really like it; but it is not perfect. My tractor has a FEL,
fluid filled rear tires, and rear wheel weights. The backhoe still pulls the tractor around quite a bit. If I had it to do over again, I would buy a used mini-ex and a used tractor without backhoe.
