Bh77

Still waiting for dealer to deliver my new toy, apparently they are waiting to install the backhoe. How many shop hours dose this take? BH77 on a L3901dt. I don't want to ask the dealer I have bugged them to much already

Took them about 2 hours to put the sub frame on my L3901HST then about 5 mins to mount the backhoe on it. I'd be blowing my dealer up about it.

I'm probably mis-remembering, but doesn't the hoe require the hydraulics of the HST?

DT or HST does not matter. The power beyond is the same. I bought a BH 77 off craigs list 2 months ago and a friend and I removed the hoe and sub frame from a L3800DT and it is now on a L3700SU. We are average shade tree guys and as far as time a hour we had it all off and the factor power beyond hose, lift arms, fender brace and tool box on the 3800. (We did have air tools) I put it on in close to 2 hours because of torqueing all the bolts. Once it is on you should be able to drop the hoe in under a minute.
Has anyone figured a way to leave the lift arms on? This the only draw back to the Kubota vs the BH7500 Woods I sold. I could swing them in and tie them with together with a rubber strap. Still looking at the 77 as to a way.

Don't know about leaving the arms on but I did buy a longer bolt to hold the mounting pins in. I cut the head off and drilled it for a small hairpin. Saves a few minutes anyway.
