My b3200 new prosthesis

[B3200]

The dealer got the back ordered hydrolics for the curtis plow blade installed today, and I had them install a bh76 with the swivel seat. The seat is easer to deal with than I would have guessed.
I added pictured for your viewing pleasure.

Nice looking machine. You have to get more dirt and mud on it though to show its worth the money. Wish I had a Hoe on mine... Looks nice. Enjoy it.

Very nice setup! Enjoy it.

 

[Ace3]

Very nice!

That stump jumped out of the earth in FEAR What a great looking setup.

Now why did you have to go and post pics Here I am, in my mind, all set to upgrade to a smaller B and you go do a foolish thing like that. I have been drooling all night . Your set up looks auesome - you are sure to have a lot of smiles per mile for many years to come.

BTW - I see you have remotes - does it interfere with your seat or yourself when you use the BH?

Looks like old man winter might have met his match...like the plow setup.

Guessing your thing to do list just got a tad longer w/BH.

B3200.. Thanks for the pictures. I've got a B3200 TLB with thumb coming this week (long distance from Barlow, I'm in Arizona). These are the first good pictures I've seen of it with the BH76.. looks like I made a good choice. I almost went with the 2920 but the step up looks like it was the right move.

What size bucket did you get, looks like at least a 16 or wider. I held with the 12 inch since I'm in decomposed granite out here and digging a 12 inch trench turns into a 24 inch when you get all the rock cleaned out.

I can't wait..

I think you'll be happy with the 12". That's what I have for digging in decomposed granite.

The owner of an old cemetary nearby contacted me to see if I would be interested in digging graves because he has a lot of plots he wants to start selling. If that gig picks up, I'll add a larger bucket to the arsenal, but so far on my property, the 12" bucket is about as big as I think I could get away with for digging through all the rock I have.

 

[B3200]

Its a 16" bucket, still looks a little small to me, but works well,
I'm not all that happy with the hydrolic setup for the plow, I expected a small toggle switch like a plow truck, if I want to take the fel off I have to remove all the lines out from under the tractor, and I can't use the hydrolics for the plow with the bh attached. Plus I wasn't expecting the large hydrolic control on the ROPS.
To answer jambx's question, yes it gets in the way of the seat when I turn it in one direction but not the other.
If any body that needs pics of any part of the b3200 let me know.
PS, I'm very happy with the b3200 and the bh76.

Thanks Bandit67.. I've viewed the pictures of you going at your hillside. Your granite looks a lot harder than ours down here. Some of the vanes are hard but most of it just sluffs off over time. Especially with the freeze and thaw of the winter, it just pushes large chunks off.

Two years ago I ringed some planters I have with the granite all pieces about the size of a football and since then, with the rains and winters its gone through, it has just about disintegrated to what looks like little clumps of clay laying on the ground.

It's called decomposed granite (at all the stone yards) but it reminds one of just rock hard clay. If you use the 3/4 or 1 inch size for landscaping your yard and then walk on it it feels like walking on carpet.. very strange stuff.

That is one sweet machine!

Best of luck with it..

B3200,
Congratulations on your new machine.

I have a power angle Curtis blade on my B3030. I have the Kubota quick attach which allows me to switch between the bucket and plow in only a few minutes. I connected the power angle to the rear remote. The hoses are tywraped in place with quick disconnets by the cross tube brace of the loader in the front. When I need the rear remote I leave the hoses in place and just disconnect the couplings at the rear remote. I don't know much about the B3200 but you may be able to do something similar. The backhoe is always operational.

Thanks for the input, the hydrolic supply for the bh is the same for the plow, so I have to unhook one to use the other. I assumed that I couldn't change the lines with the bh attached but I may be wrong, I will give it a try.
also, since I plan on removing the fel in the summer when I start mowing I will have to remove the full lengh line, I can do it but there seems to me there should be a simpler way, like a small electric pump attached to the plow like on a pickup.
