|  Back hoe price check
I'm looking at a 2475 back hoe, 7-1/2". Includes installation, rear remotes, for $6,400? Does that sound high? |

In 2005, my KB2375 was $5500 without remotes. Add about another 600 for both remotes and you have labor for 300. Mine was a self install without labor. | |

However, have you checked the Woods BH80-X? The subframe comes off with the 2475 when it's removed. On the Woods, the subframe remains on the tractor; easier to store. I'm considering both myself. | |

I just priced a Kioti 7.5 ft backhoe yesterday and it was $8,300 (CAD). That's about $7800 US...why are Canadian prices so whack?? | |

If you are still looking, I am selling my 2365 BH in New Hampshire. It's a little smaller hoe, but still a brute. I've only used it a few times which is why I'm selling

I got the same hoe for $6,000 from my dealer as it was a demo that he used at his house to put in his septic system. I love it!

Canada: $7800 (US) for backhoe plus reasonable healthcare costs
USA: $6000 for the backhoe plus >$1000/month for healthcare.
Don't complain. | |

Don't complain. | IslandTractor, you don't know how true that is! We seldom consider those things, just take 'em for granted!  It's just that almost *everything* costs more here, always! (Except some electronics itens for some reason).
