I'm wondering if anybody knows the answer to this question.
Would the quick attach backhoe bucket setup from a B26 backhoe - fit on a BH77 backhoe (on a B or L series tractor)? And would the hydraulic thumb setup from a B26 hoe - work on the BH77 backhoe.
I'm thinking of buying either a B or an L series tractor - with the BH77 backhoe - and I would LOVE to have quick attach capability on the hoe so I can change buckets, put on a ripper - a grapple like setup, etc.
I did some searching and found a couple of bucket manufacturers that have bucket models listed as working on the BH76 (predecessor to the BH77 hoe) and the hoe for the B26. So I am thinking this means that these two backhoes are very similar and possibly take the same buckets.
I'm thinking this might mean that the quick attach for the B26 might work on the BH77 backhoe. In the Build Your Kubota configurator - the quick attach buckets for the B26 hoe are less expensive than the pin-on "standard" buckets.
Somebody out there has to know if the buckets are the same. My dealer has a B26 on the lot - but no BH77 backhoes. There's another dealer that might have something on their lot - I won't have a chance to make that trip for another week or so.
