Installed? Including trucking?
Looking at the spring of 2005 steel has gone up beyond most peoples belief. In some cases where we use it has gone up more than 50% from 2 years ago.
I just bought 300 crusher anvils for the plant at $120 + freight. 2003 they were $85. I think these (2005) are comming from Africa.
So be cautious when some one says I only paid XXXX a year ago.
There does not appear to be much relief insight.
Art may be able to share how much inflation has impacted the grades of steel in these attachments. ....

The Bh75 is an awesome hoe with the frame work for the four point hook-up built to be out of the way and super strong. The price seems like it is pretty good as there is some work to put the sub-frame onto the tractorto mount the hoe to.. This unit looses no ground clearence from the original tractors clearence when the hoeis installed. ....

Thanks for the input. I take my l 3400HST In next Monday for the recall work on the PTO and to have the BH 75 hoe installed. Are the buckets for the hoe interchangeable with other brands or do you have to stick with Kubota? ....

I recently purchased a BH90 hoe, with 12" and 30" buckets for my L3130 for $7500 (doesn't include the government donation). I've been very happy with the setup and how easy it is to operate. With the mount is very easy to remove the hoe (quicker than removing the FEL)and return to 3-pt operation. You should be very pleased with your setup. Just plan on being out past dark the first day you get it. ....
