2017 RX6620 Cab,PC,FLE,and back hoe opinions?

[HollowPointFarm]

I'm new to the forum and I'm about to upgrade from a John Deere 3720 cab tractor to a Kioti RX6620 cab with backhoe and I'm wondering what everyone's opinions are about this tractor and also any feedback from other owners of the pros and cons. I live in Maine and will be using the 6620 for my hobby farm so pretty much moving round bales, cutting wood, bush hogging, and digging small stumps.

I have no complaints with my Kioti. I use mine for haying farm type work.

Backhoe is unnecessary. Only get it if they make you an outstanding deal. Mine is a spider hotel. It's useless for digging stumps, and if your soil is rocky...fuggadabowdit. You can hire a kid with a stump grinder for a few weeks for what the backhoe costs. The inconvenience factor of installing and removing is such a turn-off that I either put it on and leave it or take it off and leave it. Also makes turning around a challenge in tight areas. However, when you need one, well, you just need one.
I have had only one problem with mine. one of the seals on the front axle went bad or got damaged. it leaked the entire front axle housing contents of 90wt all over my barn floor. the seal was $60 on line, and installation was very easy.

Thanks for the input guys. I talked to a bunch of locals about this tractor/backhoe also and I've gotten about 50/50 towards the backhoe some people say they wouldn't go without it and some say they never use it. In my current case I need a bigger tractor and also need to pop ALOT of small stumps 2-6" thru since I've been making my fields larger and also thinning around my sugar maples. I wanted to buy a mini excavator but needing the bigger tractor anyhow I couldn't justify buying another 25k piece of equipment hence why I'm opting for the backhoe. with that being said I think at the out the door price of $45,099 for the 2017 RX6620 PC with cab, Rear wiper, radio, loaded tires, and the backhoe I'm making out pretty good since that's what john Deere wanted for a 3720 cab with a backhoe which is a lot less tractor.
