My dealer quoted me a price of $5,200 for a Great Bend Backhoe, model 751, installed. See here for a link to the equipment manufacturer's web page.

Is this a good piece of equipment and is it worth the price? Thanks!

Im sure its OK, most of them are hard to judge by a website.
Is it a Subframe or 3pt. Pros and Cons. 3pt ,I personally don't care for them, I dont think there strong enough to sit between it and the tractor and dig. But they do have better ground clearence and easier to drive on & off trailers since they also have less overhang.
Subframe type, trailer problems now & then with overhang & ground clearence. Comes off tractor quicker. much safer to dig with.
