Kubota 5040 with FEL
Hey everyone,

I am thinking that by the end of the year I will be in the market for a backhoe attachment for my Kubota 5040 4x4 tractor. I would like to go with the biggest boom that my tractor can feasibly handle(deepest digging depth). I have a couple of old ponds that have silted in that I am wanting to dig back out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I called the dealer today and a 11' digging depth Kubota unit is $10k and a Rhino 9'6" digging depth is around $9k. Do these price seem right? I am probably more interested in the Kubtoa unit but was curious if the price sounds right?

It's not the answer you wanted, but for $9-10K you can buy a ford 555 with 1500-2500 hours. It would be 15' dig and a lot more powerful. Same sort of deal on other mfg equipment.

Of course, new is nicer...

just my $0.02
