I would seriously suggest renting one/borrowing one and trying it out before you buy. I think you will be surprised at how underpowered it is. I have a mechanical thumb (i bought the bxpanded mechanical thumb, quick coupler, trench bucket, ripper hook...all are good). I don't find the...

I move more boulders with my FEL and pallet forks than with the BH, because it can't lift them.

fyi this is how I ended up with an L series, and its not big enough to do what I want, ultimately.

Yea my mistake, I didnt mean powered by PTO, just mounted at the back of the CUT. I have a thumb as well on my BH77. Honestly, id consider a mini ex with your stated use cases. It's a FAR better earth mover than a light CUT, IMO. So is a skid steer...might be worth it to rent an ex for the...

With 50ac, if you have alot of digging, id be looking at a mini excavator instead of the (back of the CUT) BH. I have an l3901 and a bh77. While I don't "regret" this decision fully, it has alot of frustrating moments and also isnt as strong as you hope its going to be. I needed a robust...

Ill have to check mine for that. I discussed with my dealer, but with no ktac (their first question) I assumed im screwed.

Yea second bolt on other collar is probably the best idea. Tyvm. I used a threaded rod to try to bring the ears together, but it wasnt really working well. Porta power with a short ram has been working well (enough)

Yep broke in half. Working on a tree stump. Hard to know the exact move, but im sure the hydraulics are FAR stronger than the weak thin steel that mounts the pin on the boom arm. I have NO doubt this is going to bend the steel again now that its gotten weakened. If you google it, I guess there...

Sure. Pic on the top is the random internet picture, where someone tried something similar. Middle is my actual bh77 before bending it back. Bottom drawing is hopefully a other example of what im debating making to prevent this warping again.

If this should be in repair forum, my apologies. I put it here because my plan is to fab a bracket, to repair this. Apologies for my bad artwork. My BH77 broke the pin between the two hydraulic rams in the middle. Ears flared out ect. Pin has been on backorder for a month, no tractor....total...

Late to the party. If you have the $$ and don't mind the maintenance of an extra motorized machine, get the excavator. The BH77 is NOWHERE near as good. Had mine on an L3901 for 6 years, and its better than a shovel. I've dug up rocks, stumps, used it as a poor man's grapple to move logs...

Not that you want to dump a bunch more $$, but I recommend the BXpanded quick connector and trenching bucket. I personally rarely use my 12 inch bucket, in favor of the trenching bucket.

I personally bought the bolt on hooks because the bracket inside the bucket has a D shackle mount. So I have hooks on top and d shackles in the bucket. One at each cylinder.

Awesome to get that part so fast. Whatever you do, take the loader off on VERY level ground. I thought a slight slope would be ok, it wasn't. Im never doing that again.

Search YouTube. People hookup lawnmowers "ie small engines with no emissions restrictions" to basically hoses, and dump the carbon monoxide in the hole. Get a little smoke in the exaust and you can see all the other exits and cover them. 30 minutes and they are probably all dead. Gonna try...
