i "thought" a 3 pt backhoe attachment was the only other attachment i wanted, thats what i get for thinking. anyone got a clue what this beauty cost?
heehaw

Me too.. does anyone know the cost range? I have a few logs that could use a chainsaw that big too! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

steep price - here is a google search - in the Backhoe range

If that is the case you might as well go buy a self propelled machine by the manufacturer Ditch Witch

that pricing is almost unbelievable

Yeah, but you'll end up with a used DW, that will possibly need a considerable amount of work. And, might be a money pit.
With this Bradco unit, it could make you some serious money quick! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif This one attachment could easily pay for your tractor and trencher payment. If this does much sitting around, it is your own fault. There's so much trenching work to be had, especially if it's a resonable price per foot.
That's someting to think about.

yup.................I guess that could be said of most implements

Same question ran just 3 weeks ago. Click here to see the previous thread. This link is to a 3ph trencher which is rotary rather than chain style.

They cost a lot.

They don't go all that deep - we need 5-6 feet deep for water lines here.

They need a hydro tractor as you drive _real_ slow.
