I was always a little jealous of the guys with backhoes because I couldn't come up with a good reason to make this kind of purchase. But now, thankfully, I'm moving to a place where I will really need one. So I've been doing some research on 3 pt backhoes. I can buy a Kubota B4672A hoe from the dealer that I purchased my B7500 from for $6500. He also indicated that I need a B4681 support frame kit and a heavy duty top link bracket. I've done some research on these two items, mostly here on TBN and they seem like an excellent idea. While I know the Kubota hoe is a great piece of equipment it's price is a little prohibitive to me. I've looked at other backhoes like the Woods and WoodMaxx which seem to also be good units. So my question is if I bought an off brand backhoe can I still utilize the Kubota support frame and heavy duty top link bracket? From what I've read and seen in posted pictures it appears I can. Just wondering if anybody has already done this combination.
