Buying Advice Backhoe attachement

[Field Quest]

Does Kubota make a backhoe attachment for a L5040? I have decided I could really use a backhoe and do not want to get rid of my 5040. Also, if they do not, what other brands would you recommend or do I have to trade my tractor? Thanks.

looking at there website last, and going through "build my own tractor" they were offering 9ft backhoe for all tractor sizes i went through.

According to this feature sheet, the Kubota BH77 and BH92 would both fit your GL5040

I have a L4740 and the BH92 is a great attachment for it and will work flawlessly on your machine.

Local dealer has quoted me @9k for bh90 installed.

That's what I was quoted 3 years ago so I would have to say decent deal since steel and everything else has skyrocketed since. Wish I had one on mine...

Well I just ordered a Woods BH90X and I'm at $10,500 and I'm installing it myself. That is with a hydraulic thumb though. I would say that you got a fair price.

How much was the hydro thumb?
