Oh for sure. I cant imagine they use a chain, but I will be sure to stay away if they are...

Really? I would love to see that video. On youtube?

Well, that is some good advise. I probably will stick with the attachment, but I will think about it. I will most defiantly buy a backhoe with a full subframe, I would not think of a 3pt hoe. I have a buddy that has a shop that works on heavy equipment and have heard a lot of stories about 3pt...

Yeah, that is a good thought. I did think about that. Part of the reason I bought a new machine is that I am a full time mechanic, and got sick of tinkering all the time. And it always breaks when you really need it... and just having a whole different machine to maintain. It is a lot of money...

Hey guys, looking for some advise here. I am getting ready to buy a new backhoe for my L3200. What is the difference between the kubota and wood hoe? Is one better then the other? It seems like the prices were close. I dont know much about them.

I hear ya Big Orange what a pain. I am down by Belfast. I have my place and my shop to take care of. There are always atleast 20 cars at the shop to clean off. I am ready for spring. But has been nice to break in the L3200.

Same here. I was going to do the same, but for the money just call Brian. he has a good product, and fair prices. Not to mention he is always there after the sale. he is a good guy. In the long run you will have a better product, probably for less money by the time you get done.

I am converting a 7' fisher to SSQA for my L3200 now. I bet it will work well, I have never used a blade on a tractor.

I am an HST guy and I would snag that up now. I would not wait long, if it is in decent shape that is a steal.

I second that. I had mark make a set for a B3300SU I used to have. He did a good job, they worked well. Just buy them and ask for forgiveness after.

Nobody has done this?

That is good to hear- thank you for the reply. That is what I will buy. The Herd units look well built. I am a fluid film dealer, since all this stuff they started putting on the roads, we have been undercoating a lot of vehicles!

Oh I understand that, I am a mechanic here in mid coast Maine. I see it every day. We prob do a few sets of brake lines a week. Last week I had a 2006 chevy half ton on the lift that needed spring shackles and hangers. I hate to do that to my tractor. I do live up the side of a mountain so its a...

I was planning on buying a Herd 5.5 too. I have a brand new L3200. I would not think that much salt would get on the machine, I mean it broadcasts it away from the machine... what do you think? do you get a lot of salt on your BX? If you had to do it over would you buy the Herd again, or a...

My dealer installs heaters on every one they sell. I have never used one until now, and wow it is like night and day. I bought a cheap timer on ebay so it comes on and off when I am most likely to use it, or I guess those thermo cubes work well too. If it gets below a specified temp it kicks...

I have to side with the op, I bought my machine at Union Farm here in Maine, and they told me up front that if I wanted to take advantage of the 0% that Kubota does charge 1000 bucks. I did not think that was all that bad. How much interest would you pay over the term of the note otherwise? I...

No kidding- I runs a 66" bucket with my L3200 and even if it is wet heavy snow it does not care a bit in med range, I do run chains though. I just put ice chains on the front too to help with steering. I am in a lot of places where it would not be cool to slide.

Did you set your up to angle?

yeah I have a controller, and the brakes on the trailer work good. I have one chain and binder- I will grab another sometime. I thought about using a strap but I dont know if that is a good idea. Seems like if it even started to chafe it would not take much to break it at all with a strain on it.

No kidding- that is great- thanks a lot for your advise on that, I really did not know if that was pushing it too far. I dont go far anyway, but once and a while I would not mind doing a job around here with it-
