Can't find a used tractor with a backhoe- Cost to add one to a used tractor?

[hutchman]

After looking at a adding a backhoe to the L3710 I used to own, I bought a used mini-excavator for just a little bit more and have patted myself on the back ever since for making a good decision for a change instead of having to explain to my wife why we need to step back and start over,

What did you get? I heavily considered a 580 CK (70's era Construction King) but it was pretty rough and my fear was I'd work more on it than with it.

Find a good used l39 or l45. I have a b26 and it will out work most L series with ad on backhoe has they don't have gpm to work it.
Once you run a Kubota TLB you will always want the commercial grade machines.

Agee with above suggestion...Just for "scrolling time" right on this site go to classifieds click on Kubota and scroll through what might be available, then click on Marshal Machinery and scroll through their entire listings which has some Kubota TLB's and other dirt equipment you may find interesting.
