That's about right. I was told 10 when I ordered...

Update: Grapple was ordered 1/19 - received email 4/27 with tracking number.

I paid around $7,500 for the BH + subframe if my memory serves me correctly. I sold the BH for $5,500 and received an $1,100 credit from the insurance co for the destroyed subframe (tractor lost in a fire). So I figure the BH cost me roughly $900 for those 5 years I owned it. Even if it cost me...

Keep in mind this thread is seemingly geared towards the casual hobbyist. It's hard to go from "should I buy a backhoe for the back of my tractor or not because I might not use it enough to justify the cost" to "maybe I should spend even more money to buy a whole second piece of machinery to...

It's really hard to say with the limited info we have. If you're going to use it three times and never touch it again, it's not worth it. If you'll use it off and on every years because it's readily available, go for it. FWIW, I recently sold a 4-5 year old BH77 with less than 50 hours on it...

I ordered the grapple 1/19. As of today, 4/19, no grapple and no solid known date for delivery. I sent an email to EA on 4/9 and they replied same day that most grapple orders have been going over 12 weeks with a guess of 'next week' for mine. That would've been last week. Maybe this week...

You act as if there is zero benefit to the buyer to receiving REALLY good insurance protection. The policy is unmatched from what anyone on here has shown. Is Kubota making money, sure. Can every person that walks in the door afford to pay cash for a tractor, not even close. Give me the option...

Actually, you don't have to get another Kubota. There are two different transactions when you suffer a total loss. First, they buy your tractor back from you at actual value at the time of loss. At that time, you are free to walk away with nothing or go buy a new tractor of equal or greater...

If you can't afford to pay cash and you choose to finance elsewhere, you're paying interest and then likely getting third party insurance. For those of us that choose to finance for whatever reason, 0% with KTAC makes sense considering the level of coverage from the KTAC policy.

I believe we're saying the same thing. At least what you said is what I meant...

It's more expensive than other insurance policies because it's got a full buy-back included. Destroy your tractor, they buy it back for what you paid for it. I've yet to see another insurance policy discussed on here or elsewhere that does this. This is pretty much the only time I suggest it...

I just filed for an agg exemption for honey bees now that we've been here long enough to qualify (5 years). I'm expecting it to cut my tax bill in half or more. I couldn't get my BH77 to hook up to my L3901 a while back. I messed with the connection for too long and then left it alone for a...

I was told 10 weeks. Today marks 11 weeks + 1 day. I bought the ratchet rake for my L3901 and used it to clear brush quite effectively. I didn't have a 3rd function and a grapple was never quite in reach considering the extra cost of the 3rd function. The ratchet rake has taken some serious...

Evidenced by my property tax burden, the county and school district fully agree with you.

I could be wrong here, but my understanding is that there are two types of policies from KTAC. One for new Kubota's that are financed through Kubota - this policy includes the buy-back / "replacement" feature. Or you can get a more standard policy (cheaper) for a tractor that is not financed...

I have not heard one peep from EA - I told my wife a couple of days ago that I'm expecting an email from them any day now letting me know the grapple is on the way. The tooth bar is from Ratchet Rake. It works really well for larger brush. For tiny stuff, it's less effective. It works both...

We have subdivisions on three sides (we're on 8 acres smack in the middle of the city) and I'm keeping a buffer of privet for a visual block from the houses to our property. I'm going to try and clear the rest of it though. It sucks having 8 acres but only being able to use less than half of it...

Started clearing a trail in the thicker part of the property for the kids to ride their 4 wheelers. This privet is straight from the devil himself. Spreads like wildfire and grows so thick you can barely push your way through it on foot. I've got several acres of this stuff I'm working on -...

Congrats! I love mine! I ended up going the traditional financing route. The math was so close with the 20% equine discount that I preferred to finance through Kubota and get the KTAC insurance.
