Need info on tractor/backhoes

[NC4AB]

I was in a similar situation and decided to purchased a used B21. I looked at several larger models but the b21 was a compromise for size and manuverabilty. I love the HST transmission!!

The back hoe is adequate for most tasks, it just takes time to dig out the larger stumps. The B21 turns on a dime, just remember that you have the hoe on the back or you wipe out the fence, barn, etc.

I would recommend that you rent a B21 and see if it will do what you need.

The biggest problem that I found was locating a B21 in my price range. I have put about 50 hrs on it mainly removing stumps, with no complaints at all.

Look for a used L35 or a New L39 will get your jobs done a lot faster. The only thing I don't like about the B21 is it's low of POWER. It's ok for gradeing but with heavy loads it just doesn't have enough uuummmppphhhh. A Used L35 is a little bigger of a unit but worth it for the extra 14HP and a better bigger backhoe. I heard they are redesigning the B21 and L48 and hopefully they will add more HP to the B21 say 25-28hp and then it would be an awesome little TLB. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In My search for a TLB, I could not find a used, and I mean used B@! for under $15K.

L35's used Ran 22-26K

A New 30 HP Kioti 3054XS Tlb 30 Hp was 20K, Now about 22K (new)

So a ended up spending near 35K for a new L39.

Everyone says I could get my money back if I ever sell.
