I would like to put a backhoe on my B2301. Anyone have any suggestions about 3rd party models? Or should I only go orange?

What I didn'd like about the Kubota BH's for the B2301 & B2601 was it only has a 140 degree swing arc.
That's one of the reasons I stepped up to the B2650 w BH77 w/ 180 swing,
efficiency is a huge deal....
It depends, do you already own the B2301? The backhoe through Kubota can be financed after the fact 0% -24 months. Plus you should have signed off on prep sheet from Kubota/dealer stating that non approved units will void the warranty!
Woods makes an excellent product. Just subframe which ever unit you pick.

Resale on a Kubota hoe on a Kubota tractor is higher than, say a Woods hoe on a Kubota tractor. Generally speaking. I hear it all the time "well I don't plan on selling it"....and 5 years down the road they want/need a bigger tractor. Using the Kubota hoe will also help your trade-in value....
Plus the BH70 actually fits, and fits like it's supposed to. No drilling holes or adjusting subframes to line up, and the Kubota hoe's subframes allow you to use the 3 point hitch without removing the subframes. And the subframes on the BH70 don't hang so low on the tractor that you're hitting everything. And you can finance the BH70 through Kubota, with KTAC insurance if desired-a win-win, IMO.
