Backhoe for B2320 - Is Kubota BH65 still available?

[PWarton]

I have a B2320. I would like to get a backhoe for it. Years ago, I saw the Kubota BH65, but every time when I search for BH65 the Woods backhoe shows up.

Is it save to assume Kubota is no longer manufacturing their backhoe for this tractor?

Well, if you go to Kubota.com and build a B2320, the bh65 backhoe is listed as an option.

The real issue is not the BH but the subframe to mount it to.

Looks like the subframe is $998 in the quote on build you Kubota.

So everything should be available.

Thanks for that info. Every time I Googled BH65 the Woods model showed up. I guess Woods renamed there hoe to BH65 too. Confusing.

Anyways, as far as the subframe, I use the MMM a lot. Will the subframe interfere with that?

No.
I had a mmm and bh65 on the 2620 I owned several years ago.

I just bought and installed the same one on my B2320.
Came with a new swivel seat base as well

About how much is the BH65 backhoe? I'm guessing $7K when all is said and done? does that sound about right? Also how powerful is it? Is it good enough for a basic homeowner to use? Also, how does one go about purchasing it, do I call the local dealer? Is it something they ship or I go to the dealer with a pickup truck or trailer bring it home install it myself?

Thanks everyone for your help.

How is that working out for you?

I'm sure they will install it for you, I would estimate $500-$800 labor.
Or you can do an out the door purchase from the dealer where you install.
Don't think Kubota will drop ship at your location.

If you have multiple dealers around I would try to negotiate the best price.
I'm about to purchase and BH77 for my B2650 and I've been quoted as much as a $800 difference. Now you as well need to decide if you want a thumb (if offerred) which I would definitely recommend as well as the right size bucket that will meet your needs.

Thanks,
Yes, definitely will purchase the thumb.

Will the BH77 fit the B2320?

 

[beckmurph]

The bh65 will only fit the b2320.

The attached screen shot shows price of backhoe, subframe, 16” bucket, and manual thumb.

The bh65 is a straight boom design.
It is a fairly stout backhoe.

If you bought your 2320 new from a dealer, you maybe able to work out a lower price than what is listed in the above quote.

It works great,I installed the 4 point hitch myself in about 1 and 1/2 hours.
Took a bit of time to backup to the hoe and figure out how to pin it up for the first time but it is not bad to do.
The new seat base did not line up with the new brackets so I drilled the bars to mount the new base.
