Hi everyone,
This is my first post here as I joined the forum last week. I've enjoyed reading a lot of the posts here, there is definitely a lot of knowledge and experience here.
Last summer, we bought a used 2012 L3540 from a dealer. The original owner had a backhoe on it but kept it after he traded it in.
We want to get a BH92 for this machine and we already have the subframe. I called our dealer this morning for a price check and want to know your thoughts:
BH92, 18" bucket, no thumb: $8800
BH92, 18" bucket, hydraulic thumb: $11,700
What do you guys think about this price? Definitely want to go the hydraulic thumb route. If it can be paid for in full with cash what do you think is a good offer? This price is delivered to my house 1.5 hours away in a crate so I'll have to break it open, install the thumb, and mount it to my machine.
Maybe I can save more if I pick it up myself.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
