I Originally was pricing the Kioti backhoes.But the prices I got had me putting off a backhoe this year.
When I found out that Kioti and Rhino backhoes were the same I priced the Rhino models.
I found a Rhino 85 (8 1/2' digging depth) with 18" bucket ,subframe for a DK 35, and hose kit with hose fittings and quick couplers to plum into the tractors hydraulics $5200.
This price was some assembly required, still on the crate loaded into my truck.
I felt I got an excellant deal.Works real nice,only takes a few minutes to install or remove from the tractor.
It also came in Kioti orange. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
