Hey guys... so there have been a couple of hold-ups on this purchase.
1. The backhoe is a BH90... not a BH95 (for 3k). That's not a huge deal to me, but the guy doesn't know if the tractor that he's pulling it off of has the appropriate subframe to fit the 3940. I might have to buy a new subframe to get it on there. Somewhat annoying, but not a deal breaker.
2. The guy was going to put the backhoe on there for me... now he's not, but he's agreed to deliver it, which saves me 6 hours and the cost of a truck rental instead.
3. At the end of the day, I'm going to end up getting the Grand L3940 with 237 hours on it, with a backhoe and a subframe mount on a pallet for $26,500... dropped off at my door. I will NOT be able to have a diesel mechanic look at the item before it's dropped off, but the guy is willing to give me an 'out' if there is something wrong with the machine. He'll accept a return if I drop it back off for 100% of the money.
I could also have the guy bring the stuff to the Kubota dealership with him to throw it all together, but he's letting on that such work will add several weeks to the purchase... especially if the subframe mount is not the right one.
I don't know what is involved with installing a subframe mount, or a backhoe... and I don't know the likelihood of anything being wrong with a 3940 with 237 hours. I figured it would be best to write this update and see what you guys think. I'm going to check the thing out in person on Sunday.

Thank you guys as always for taking the time to help me... and everyone else.
