B7610 Backhoe Information???

[jlbota]

I am in the market for a new Kubota Tractor with an FEL and backhoe. Just wondered if anyone here had some feedback on the B7610 with a backhoe and how it performs.
Pictures would be great.....as my dealer doesn't have any in stock so I couldn't see how they mounted up on the tractor.
Do these hoes have a subframe?
I am also considering a new B3030 with the same setup.

I don't know about a B7610 but I can show you my brand new B3030 with a BH75. I have 4 pics for you.

I see you used to have a BX23. What made you decide on the B3030 vs the other models? I am curious as I had a BX22 that I sold at the end of last summer.

The B3030 is an awesome looking machine.

A B7610 will use a B4672 BH.
I did a quick search for a B4672. Got lots of hits. Here is one thread that has some pictures of the B4672 and B4690, which is the same BH with a little longer reach. Click Here

Thanks....I tried doing a search before I posted but I wasn't coming up with much.
I really like the setup of the B3030 backhoe better I think. But now I see they may be having problems with bending cylinders? /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. I am sure it will be resolved but that happening in the middle of a job would be a bit aggravating. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

To tell you the truth, I've never really looked at models like B75xx or B76xx (great tractors though). I know very few information on those models.

I was happy with my BX23, but I've changed because I want a more powerful loader (bucket and forks), backhoe (BH75 has more reach than a BT600 and is a bit more powerful than a backhoe on a B21) and 3PH. More PTO HP (last winter I used a 64" rear snowblower on my BX23. It was limit. PTO HP on a BX 16.7, 23 on a B3030). That's all.

Sorry, I know that I'm not of big help here.

The B7610 is a small step down from my B2910.

I would expect it digs similar to what mine does, with just a little less reach... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Reaching down to clean out a ditch or, in the case of the attached photo, to find something like a sewer lateral, is the part I enjoy the most... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
