    In need of a BT1000 Backhoe

    This B26 with the grapple was my first piece of equipment 5 years ago. I only put about 100 hours on it before I found one with 15 hours on it at auction. I got it for $13k below retail. I really wanted to upgrade to an L47, but a month later I found an M62 at a dealer who wanted the "new" B26...

    In need of a BT1000 Backhoe

    I have the larger M62 and a Takeuchi TB240 , so I don't want for diggers. I bought the smaller L47 because the M62 is difficult to use with backhoe behind you in small spaces when using only the loader. If I can find a backhoe, I might be able to get by without the M62. I might get lucky.

    In need of a BT1000 Backhoe

    I'm interested to know if you finally found a backhoe. I have a 2018 L47 that I recently purchased without the BT1000 backhoe. I'm thinking I would like to get a BT1000. If anyone hears about one, I would appreciate hearing from you.

    Anyone have a L47?

    I guess I guess I need to review my service manual before I offer any more opinions.

    Anyone have a L47?

    I have an M62 which has basically the same architecture in most respects as the L47. They have a common shop manual, and without looking it up, both versions use the same three pumps. One is for the loader and tractor motion and the other two operate the backhoe. I forget which pump handles the...

    Diverter valve for mini excavator

    I guess it's a case of mind over matter. I will give it a second chance. I can't be without my M62 on the farm for lifting and carrying material in addition to being able to dig. It's indeed more valuable than my excavator. Plus it goes from A to B a lot faster and doesn't tear up the ground so...

    Diverter valve for mini excavator

    Check this video out: This guy installed the same valve I just bought. However, there is one which is more straightforward and probably easier to install that is available from Bobcat p.n. 7439666 that sells for $212.20. It's specifically for an excavator or a backhoe. Since I have the M62, I...

    Diverter valve for mini excavator

    i have one of these 3 way diverter valves on my U27-4. I was considering robbing it for my new Takeuchi TB235-2, but for $200 I can get a pair of 3 ways from my local hydraulic supply house. The configuration is not the same and they have an arm to select the ports that possibly could get...
