I like the idea of having a backhoe, but to do so, I'd have to settle for a slightly smaller tractor in the BX25D......adding a new BH to a B2601 would take another ~$7K....yikes......here are the two quotes I have received for what I'm looking at......
1. The Kubota BX25D with loader, backhoe, grapple, box blade, and 16' trailer is $22,950, less the $300 tractor rebate and $1,000 implement rebate, the total comes to $21,650.
2. The Kubota B2601 with loader, grapple, box blade, and 16' trailer is $23,300. This tractor has a $400 rebate and the same $1,000 implement rebate which would bring the total to $21,900.
Kubota is offering 0% financing on all tractors for 60 months. To apply for financing we would need to fill out a credit application to submit to Kubota Credit. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me."
I am planning on using whatever tractor I buy to do some work on the side...things like small jobs involving hauling small loads of mulch, gravel, soil, etc, etc and spreading it around.....maybe some light grading of gravel driveways..I'm not depending on it for a fulltime living, but if things were to go well, it might convince me to jump in a little deeper.....just wonder if it's be worth going with a smaller tractor size wise to be able to have the BH...and the BX25 would fit through small gates....I've got to check the specs on the B2601......
