If you plan on using a backhoe go with the B21, it will out dig any 3 point unit in this class and size of tractor. Also think about installing/removing the backhoe, one can remove or install the backhoe on the B21 in less than 10 minutes. A 3 point backhoe will take an hour or more to install or remove plus once installed it will not be as capable as the B21 unit. One more thing about 3 pt. backhoes is most tractors are not designed to run this type of attachment day in and day out and as a result have had their backs broke. Where the B21 can run a hoe day in and out because it's designed with this in mind, it's an industrial type tractor and built heaver than other tractors in this size with a full length frame. A lot of tractors out there use the motor, transmission, and axils as the frame and build the rest of the tractor around it thus creating failure points when the tractor is under the stress a backhoe can put on it.

The photo of the Kubota plowing snow in editorial section, is that a B21 or L35. I like the looks of the cab, where can I find more info? Will it fit a B21?

FYI Yes the mighty B21 can do it and has. The bottom line is the B21 three point hitch is rated at 1014 lbs. at 24" behind lift points. As to why Kubota's operator's manual only recommends 400 lbs max no one seems to know. Not even a guy at Kubota's western office in Stockton knew the true reason. The only reason I can come up with is that Kubota is being conservative, they want the customer to be happy with the tractor and what is attached. The 600 pound tiller is no problem for the 3 pt. to handle. As a side note the B21's backhoe weight is 892 lbs so the 600 lbs of the tiller is a better at keeping the tractors weight balanced without the use of extra ballast.

Just in case you are wondering about the tiller, it dose a supper job. With 6 tines per flange it's fast as tillers go and that 600 lbs. means very little or no bounce. Plus it looks bullet proof and you have to love the gears, no roller chain to break.

The B21 TBL is super tractor and second to none in it's size range. You may pay more for a B21 TBL but in the long run it will more than pay for it self. Especially if you plan to do a lot of work with the backhoe, it has no match when compared to any of the PTO units out there. It will out dig any of them and you can remove/install the backhoe in less than 10 minutes, you can't do that with a PTO unit. The loader is also a very heavy duty unit when compared to other tractors in this size class as well as the rest of the tractor. I have amazed quite a few people with the amount of dirt this little tractor can move. Kubota sells it as a commercial unit and that's just what it is. If it has a weak spot it's a PTO at 13.5 HP, but if you keep the implements sized right you should not have any problems. I have personally run a 48" rotary-cutter and a 150 gal. sprayer on mine. I'm now looking for a 48" tiller. Any way you look at it, if you need a compact tractor to move a lot of dirt this is it.
