I bought a Kubota L3830 with a BH90 three years ago to do the excavation and foundation work for my cabin and shop, remove stumps/big rocks, and do a lot of trenching for underground utilities on my property. I paid $6500 for it new and just traded it in along with the 3830 on a larger tractor with a trade-in allowance of $4500 for the hoe. It was a great tool to have around, but I've finished most of my hoe work and decided the money tied up in the BH90 could be better spent on a bigger tractor and a few more implements. Here in northern Idaho I can rent a mini-excavator with a thumb for $172/day (4 day minimum). At this point, it's the way to go for me.
