Thumb Woods BH80X Thumb(s)?

[texbaylea]

Is there any place on the web to download a copy of the install instructions? I am looking to put a backhoe on my Kubota. Talked to a Woods dealer about 35 miles from me and he quoted $9400 installed plus $100 transportation. The thumb was $900 extra plus $800 for a pump kit. Seems quite a bit high based on what I am seeing here.

I wanted to assess how hard the installation would be. This was for the 80x.

First off - the dealer is hosing you on the price. I got quotes from 2 "high volume" (judging by the amount of inventory on their lots) woods dealers at $7,400 installed with the subframe, hose kit, 18" bucket & thumb on my B3030. Thumb is a $600 (MSRP) option. You don't need a pump - get the hose kit & run it off your tractor.

MSRP pricing here MN DOT contract specifcations woods backhoes (pdf) has info on subframe & hose kit #s.

Thanks for the links. I was sure that the dealer was getting to me but the major tractor dealers in my immediate vicinity have stopped handling Woods whole goods. This was the first that would give me a quote. I guess I will have to work the Houston and Austin dealers as they are within an easy 2 hour drive.
