backhoe 65B new model

mikeman1 · Sep 25, 2016

I have been hearing that mahindra has designed a new backhoe the 65B to replace the 75B. Do any of you guys who are dealers know why this was done? From what I understand the breakout force at the bucket and dipper are much lower than the previous 75B model. If this is true then I have to say I am a little disappointed, unless they decided to design a smaller backhoe because the tractor couldn't handle the 75B and had structural problems. I was thinking of purchasing a 2555 HST which up until very recently could have been paired with the 75B.

Also, do you happen to know what size buckets it can come with and if it can still get a thumb?

Thanks for any replies and insight.

I have been looking online and still have not seen anything about the 65B... hang in there...

I think they are made by Bradco, like the 595 on the back of my 5035. Maybe the cyl's on the 75B were a little too big and the cycle times were too slow, could be too strong for the tractor like you said, or just some other reason that we can't think of. Bradco makes the subframes, too. They make a Bradco model 365, which may have more sales volume and they just want to drop the special build for the 75B, or whatever....
