I have been wanting a backhoe for some projects for quite a while. Who hasn't!?!?!? I have contemplated an attachment for my Kubota L3710 but they seem so expensive any brand you buy. I am not sure I want to subject my tractor to those stresses either, even with a subframe. I recently found an old used Long backhoe that looks decent from the posted pictures on Craigslist. Has anyone had any experience with these? My dad and I used to own a Long 360 that gave us very good service. I know that unit was made in Romania in a Fiat licensed plant. This backhoe looks entirely different. Does anyone know who made these for Long? Where were they made? Of course, I know that Long is now out of business. I wonder how hard it would be to find parts?
