Topic

I'm in Northern California, and it seems that all of the tractor activity is nowhere near me. I'm narrowing in on something in the 30hp range, and I'm looking at a Kubota 3130 w/HST & FEL, 100 hours, asking $17K. Sure seems high. Is it?<br>
<br>
I really want a backhoe, so what can I expect to pay for that? Do I just go to a dealer and shell out the big bucks for a new name brand backhoe, or does there exist any sort of third party product or used market I should be considering? <br>
<br>
I guess I want it all -- a good price, a used machine in good condition which won't be a maintenance headache, and I don't want to spend all my time aimlessly wandering the internet or hoping that my local dealer (who has not impressed me)will provide facts in lieu of his generalizations or guesses.<br>
<br>
Any help? Where do I go for that deal I'm seeking? <br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>

Thank you kt.

Vis-a-vis the rototiller, I think you are telling me the following:

a. It requires a 3 point connection
b. A backhoe requires a different kind of connection
c. Those two dissimilar types of connections can be in conflict with one another.

Am I on track?

As far as renting, that seems like a good idea, although I did get quite a bit of experience with the B20 and have a fairly solid benchmark. Basically do the same thing, but a little better, and that works for me.

Thank you

Doug
