BH 90 vs BH 75 and $$$$

[johnk]

I got a price of $8200 installed for a BH 90. Does this seem in the ballpark? I know the Bh 75 is cheaper but tough to dig the depth for septics.. Is this a decent price w/ 16" bucket?? I'm trying to spend money to get the economy and stock market cranking once again..

That sounds like it's in the ball park for sure. Bucket options, sub-frame, pads, thumb can make the price more or less.

Am going to sign the papers for a BH90 tomorrow morning. $7100 installed with an 18" bucket. Prices here in SE Michigan seem pretty good.

Kubota is raising prices 4% on a lot of items as of Feb 1st - not sure if the backhoes are part of that or not, but might be something to keep in mind.

Good luck!

The dividends from the additional price will come when you start using the 9' footer, plus the resale value if you ever want to sell it. I was reluctant more than 30 years ago now, to splurge for the extra cost, but now is the time to do it! That extra length makes a lot of difference in time and performance.

There was many jobs also, that I would have been unable to do with the smaller hoe, which would have been hired out, voiding any savings!

My dealer in Beaumont TX quoted me 8900 for the bh80 installed.

I just bought my bh 90 for 7450 installed with 16 and 30" buckets for my 3130. I couldnt beat this price and this is in alaska.

Good deal, I paid 7K to have a BH90 installed when I bought the tractor.
Now I want to get a thumb for it...BRO-TEK?
