I know exactly your feelings right now (as you already know, I did the same swap).Good choice, nice tractor, nice pictures and... have fun!
BTW, just a tip: when you do backhoe work, if the main seat is set forward enough you can let the backhoe seat down all the time. That way it's easier and quicker to place the tractor repeatidly for digging. I say this because when I made the swap I was used to turn the seat of the BX and wasn't as productive as it should be with the new seat of the BH75. Ahhh well... I'm looking forward to switch my snowblower for my BH75. For now, we receive 4 inches today.
So no digging for me this week.

Thanks everyone !!
i actually went to a job and finished it up today with the new 3030 and got to learn some ins and outs while getting paid. BIG difference, the site had some root balls from where i had cleared out the brush and this little baby just poped them right out of the ground and didnt even choke when it did it. the bx would have ans did just stop when i hit them. I found that it seems to be much more stable then the bx, had one back tire up on a mound of dirt and if felt just fine, i would have been pulling the seat out of my posterior with the bx. Maybe the feeling is just do to the fact that your so close to the ground on the bx and not on the 3030 i duno but i like it.
What i dont like allready is the seat position of the BH i feel real cramped up, im 6-2 200lbs and the seat on the bx was scooted way back, not an option on the BH75 other than that i love it.
NORTLAND i got a kubota BH to go with my KUBOTA tractor, thats all I have to say about that. Aftermarket may be the same or better maybe even cheeper i duno, i think come resale time, or repair time ill be happy i made my decision. I had a bad experience with an aftermarket loader on a massey 175.
VIBRATION update i noticed that the viration was not near as bad as when i drove it at the dealer, but now it has a loader and BH on it. Nothing in the steering wheel hardly but my foot had it own built in vibrator. could hear things vibrating on the tractor but o-well i still love it.
STEF this is all YOUR fault if i never would have saw your pics with the 2 kubotas next to each other i would never have ended up where i am. But its a happy place today
got to figure out how to streach my tooth bar and grade blade now, hmmm
OHH YA THE GREEN STUFF

I had no choice when I bought the tractor. My dealer doesn't sell any Woods implements. It sucks, the BH75 is great but I like to make my own choice. I would have ended up with the BH75... probably, but to compare is always useful and fun. I'm looking for a 30" to 36" bucket for my BH75... just to clean a ditch (1400'). I had a 24" on my former BX23 and it made a big difference. For now I use a 16". BH75 is a nice backhoe... no problem so far yet I dug a lot.
