I have had one for about a month. I installed it myself in less than 9 hours. I had never used a backhoe before, and when I first started out,I was afraid that I had wasted my money. But after some practice, things went better and the backhoe became much stronger. I have grubbed every stump that I can find and last week dug the footers for a new garage. I removed many rocks, some twice as large as the 12" bucket. Now, I love it. ....

They won't sell it to you, Craig. Not legally at least. Liability issues.
Build your own. It will be cheaper and you can get exactly what you want. ....

I wouldn't believe everything you see on the TBN.
I've measured both a 2230 and a 23 and they are interchangable. The only difference is the lower connection to the BH subframe. The two 4-bolt patterns on the top of the fenders are the exact same. ....

I'm 5' 11" and 210 lbs. and have not bumped my head on the existing ROPS yet. The seat keeps me about 1 foot forward of the ROPS. I would suggest that you at least try using the back hoe with the existing ROPS before deciding whether its worth the cost of replacing it. ....
