    BH77

    I bought my L3301 used about 6 years ago. It was 4 years old then. So the backhoe is about 10 years old. The gentleman that I bought it from said that he used it twice. I have probably put about 70 hours on the backhoe. Pictures coming soon when I put an ad up.

    BH77

    My BH77 was for my L3301. It has a 16” bucket and the Kubota thumb (manual). I also have the subframe; but I think that you need a different subframe for your tractor. My subframe fits the L series (2501, 3301, 3901, possibly others). I am pretty sure that my subframe does not fit LX series. I...

    4x4 golf carts / electric UTV?

    We have the Landmaster EV (model is called “Amp”). We live in the mountains with very steep gravel roads in our community. It has performed well. The machine is very quiet. Our neighborhood has many UTVs - Kawasaki Mules, Can Ams, Arctic Cats, Polaris, John Deere, etc. All are loud...

    Newbie in Western Carolina

    Yes; I find the power appropriate. My property is steep, and I have sufficient power to grade and do ditch work as well as PTO power to brush hog and run a PTO chipper. Weight is a traction factor. I have rear wheel weights and filled tires. Jack

    My rear remote installation

    Nice setup! I have a similar configuration on my L3301. I found that the valve body began rusting, and I had to take it all apart and paint it. Jack

    Furniture dollies?

    I am using one right now for a 3pt concrete mixer. Caution - in my book, the Harbor Freight 1000# furniture dolly capacity is greatly exaggerated. I build most of my dollys with 2x or 4x4 wood and larger casters. YMMV Jack

    Pat’s Quick Hitch

    Before I installed a hydraulic top link on my L3301, like “mendonsy” above, I bought a longer top link at TSC. It was just about perfect to compensate for the Pats. Jack

    BH77 Upgrade

    Wow! Did you do the fabrication on the plates to extend the mount? The original BH77 foot room is cramped; that looks really tight! Is the speed and power significantly more? I think that I would upgrade to an excavator before I did all that work; but beautiful job!
