Questions - B3030 and backhoe (BH75)

[PondFish]

I've been looking at the BX23 and B3030 recently. I really like the specs and features of the 3030 but the price is a hard sell to my better half /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I saw a few threads about someone's BH75 and breaking a tooth or two. I really like the 4pt hitch on the BH75. It looked like a solid desgn to me but then I've never used a backhoe before.. I just know I have a list of things I'd LIKE to do /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'm interested in anyone's experience with the BH75s. When the BH isn't on, you can still use other 3pt implements as normal? Does the subframe interfere with the MMM or 3pth implements when its not attached...

Thanks

My dealer told me that BH75 subframe does not interfere with the MMM or any implements.

I saw one mounted on a tractor at my dealer (not a B3030 though). And I think he's right, the subframe doesn't seem to be a problem with the 3PH. It's short and wide enough to be out of the way of the 3PH.

The backhoe on a BX23 and a BH75 are very user friendly. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A backhoe mounted on a subframe is more stable than one mounted on a 3PH. You have a good feeling that the backhoe is "one" with the tractor. To remove it takes about 2 minutes. To put it back on demands a bit more time because you have to square the tractor very well with the backhoe.

I can tell you that on a BX23, the subframe doesn't interfere at all with the 3PH.
