M5640 Tractor what size backhoe attachment

[SethGuy]

I have an M5640 tractor that I use on my farm but now need a backhoe or trencher attachment. What does the Orange community recommend?

Id recommend renting a mini-ex or TLB or trencher

Second option would be to buy a used older construction TLB

Third option is buy a Kubota TLB vs adding a BH to an AG tractor

Fourth option would be a frame mounted BH for your AG tractor

If you really need to do a lot of serious BH work the AG tractor will get stale fast when you have to climb on and off the machine every 3-4 feet
