Hello, I have a Kubota Mx5000dt. with Kubota Loader 852 and r-4 tires. Have been wanting/researching backhoes for several months... A Kubota dealer recomended bradco, and said they generally dont sell Kubota backhoes, because bradco is a really good hoe for less $$. Have decided on Bradco hoe... but they do not build a subframe nor will they for the Mx5000. Now options are 9 foot Kubota hoe with subframe for 8500 or 9 foot woods with subframe for 6500. I thought of buying a bradco 511 for 8100 and having local machine/weld shop build subframe (about $600) . My wife said I should look at New Holland tractors, got quote for Tn 55(4wd) with 32 loader, r-4 tires option for 16.9 gpm hydraulic pump and Bradco 611 ($35,200) plus tax. I like this option /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but dont know about selling Mx (I really like the tractor I have) and dont like coming up with extra $$$ to get into new note. Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Any owners of the above mention backhoes please give likes/dislikes. My tractor has 9.2 gpm hydraulic out put, but both the woods and kubota have 9 gpm pto pumps.
