Looking for specs on the Bradco 408 backhoe . I’m looking to see if it’s a good fit for an LX2620 . The kubota hoe for this tractor is the BH77 . Around 1100 pounds and a digging depth of 91” I think . The bradco has an 8’ digging depth and I find conflicting weights . My intension is to buy the subframe kit from Kubota and make my own mounting setup for the hoe . Thanks , Richard

Have you considered selling your LX2620, and buying a different machine with BH attachment

No , brand new , just made the first payment haha . I set myself a budget and that was all that was in it . I’m just shopping and seeing what I can come up with . A backhoe for me will come off and on . Like my b7300 I sold , after the projects are done I’ll be using a very expensive snow shovel ( it’s a toy I just wanted back after sold the other , I don’t drive new trucks so I figured for 1/3 the payment I’d have this for the rest of my life . Just a want at this time Anyway I’ll get a backhoe for it . I can grab even the woods 75 or 750 for a couple grand around here. The Brad o came up and just checking the fit . The bh77 is 1140 lbs the Bradco is around 1400 with 12 “ bucket . Is that weight difference an issue . I think the pto is rated right around that 1400lbs . I’ll probably have it off most times unless I’m using it

Thanks again beckmurph , you did some searching , I went to that site with no luck at all . I see a lot of those bradco’s for sale , most are for skid steers so I tried looking for more specs hoping the weight specs was for one with the seat and bracket setup for a skidsteer
