Kubota utility tractors - available backhoes?

FlyFishn - echoing rScotty - you can have your cake (BH) and 3PT for ground engaging - plow etc, with a Kubota TLB - the L47 is 45HP, the M59 and M62 are 59/62 HP and are very capable as a tractor and a backhoe.

They only take 5 min to R&R the BH, and the frame is MUCH tougher than any standalone tractor. You can find them used for $45-60K (M59 for example) and are worth a look.

Otherwise get a used Mini or new Chinese mini for your digging, and a full sized tractor for the rest

Thanks for the info. I did some digging on the TLB models. It does not appear there is a cab model in any of the 3 sizes. That pretty much exnays these for us.
