I have a Kubota B1750 (20 HP) that came equipped with a bucket loader but no back hoe... In researching purchasing a backhoe for this unit I have been told that I may be better off trading the one I have versus buying a new one for the tractor I have now. One person wanted to sell me a Woods 6000 3 pt but when I spoke to Woods directly, I was told initially, that the only one recommended for that tractor is the BH70-x and that they don't make an undercarriage for the 6000. When I mentioned this to the person who wanted to sell me the 6000 he said he had sold about 50 of these to people in the same circumstances as I was and they had no problem. He confirmed they don't make an undercarriage for the 6000 but said it wasn't needed. I called Woods again and this time spoke to a tech person, not a sales person who said the 6000 would work as long as i wasn't running it everyday. Others have told me that the 6000 doesn't really have enough power to do any real digging ie stumps etc... I do have an opportunity to buy a Kubota 2550 with both a backhoe and front loader but its about 12k .. any suggestions from anyone will be appreciated ... trade in or buy a new backhoe.. and if you recommend buying the backhoe would you buy the 6000 or the BH70-x ( the cost difference is about $1600).. Thanks
