Backhoe Woods BH80x or Kubota BH77?

Thanks, I have been thinking and looking for almost a year and got a lot of good info from everyone on this site. A lot of experienced people on here, and I took their advice. Sure I'm spending more than I wanted to but I'm sure it's the right way to go.

i have purchased the kubota bh77 from my dealer installed for 8500 last year for my b3200. very great investment and piece of equipment. have used it so much that i don't know how ever i would be without it . if i have to either remove or install bh it takes 5 minutes, actually.

I had a l3200 with the BH77 and was very disappointed in it's power. Was told it was a 2-3 minute job to remove it and install my bush hog and that was bull crap. You have to remove the 3 point hitch arms to install the BH. Now not a big deal but not a 2-3 minute job like dealer said. Was told that the BH77 would be a totally different BH on the L3560 because of the hydraulics. I wasn't willing to chance it, so traded it in still on the L3200.

I have had the BH80X for a little while now and I like it. I've dug a few stumps, used it to process some trees, and used it to build a retaining wall out of railroad ties. The hydraulic thumb is awesome, it is so handy, and the reason I bought this hoe. Overall I'm happy with it. It is definitely not a excavator but it will get the job done, and it's a lot of fun doing it. I can't wait to put it back on next weekend, I have two more stumps to dig and another small wall to build.
