I'm trying to get an idea what options I have for putting a backhoe on my B6000. If I understand correctly, there was a B619 built for this model tractor. And there were B629 and B670 for other models.
I saw what I think was a B670 on craigslist the other day and I didn't get a hold of the guy soon enough. I wasn't sure what would be involved in making it work on my tractor or if it would even be a good idea. Opinions?
It seems all these older backhoes are rare as hens teeth. Do people just not get rid of them or were there just not that many sold? I live in a sparsely populated area, so I expect to not see any come up for sale, but I hardly ever see one on ebay or through a nationwide search of craigslist.
For my budget, I think one of the older ones would be best. I'm fine with rebuilding one. I don't know if I want to build one from scratch, but I suppose that's an option. Are there any other older backhoe models I should keep my eye out for?
