I'm thinking about geting either a BH76 or BH77 for my B3200 and would like to see some of the variety of task people have done with them. I fairly well know the capabilites as I have spent many hours on a B21 (almost identical specs to the BH77) and B26, but still like to see the type of jobs people are doing with these.

I'll be trenching 3-4' deep, removing small stumps and brush, building trails, installing culverts, excavating for small buildings, etc. and I think a BH76 or 77 would work pretty well.

Any pics would be great of B-series backhoe work. Thanks in advance.

Looks good, I really like the new BH77. I think the curved boom would also be better for loading trucks (1-ton dump) which will be one of my tasks.

Sure, go ahead, or just a link to the thread where they are would be fine too.

Well my first stump was a while ago,
Well I finally got to use my ride for something "real".
Witness 1 ugly stump, about 2 foot in diameter, tree cut down about 5 years ago (pic1).
Made a few swipes last night, but Tstorms rolled in.
After about 3.5 hours seat time I got it broke off (second pic). It only had a few major side roots but they were all down about 1 foot plus deep.
Finally got it out (obligatory picture holding up the captured stump).
All backhoe work except cleaning up the piles and filling in the hole.
Only 4 cold O'Douls consumed for cold "adult" beverages.
Good learning experience. Perfect weather.

I might even mount it, in my fireplace.

Note for those looking at BH's -
There was a lot of discussion when I was buying mine. Several recommended a smaller BH, either a Woods 6000 or the Kubota B4672. Well the BH70 can definitely move my 7610 around easily. But there were a lot of times I really used the full extension and "curl" power.

Those are some pretty good size stumps, I've dug quite a few with a B26 and know what a job it is.

Keep the pics coming. Anyone do any foundations or excavations for small buildings?

here is some original trench cut with a track loader but i had to move septic tank to this location so it had to go lower

digging out the septic tank

The tank was just filled with water to back fill it but I found out that i need a cistern and this was a better location for it so it had to be moved
