Second review of the BHM-8 now that I have had time to work with it. Hoping I can post a picture of a boulder that I picked up with the thumb extra. If you are asking whether it is worth the extra cost I would definitely say, yes! Using the backhoe to dig foundation, electrical 200', and waste pipes 300', in the rocky ground. Glacier moraine field with a lot of rocks and boulders. The thumb/backhoe has picked up and moved granite boulders about the size of a truck tire. And what I couldn't pick up (one about 5' across) I was able to use the backhoe to slide the boulders out of the way. Beyond expectations of what I thought a tractor three point backhoe would be able to do. I got pretty good at picking up and moving rocks/smaller boulders that would have taken 2-3 men just to roll out of the way much less pick up. (Hope to include picture but not seeing option)
PS: Have estimated that I have already recouped $2500+ of the purchase price in what I would have spent on renting the first week of using the backhoe. Purchase vs rental is about a months rental here in CO.
Have just begun using the BHM8 backhoe but very impressed (Would not recommend for compact tractor because of the size and weight). Even more impressed by Betstco's service. Front hydraulic cylinder damaged in shipping, I emailed pictures of the damage, and they immediately shipped a new one. Gets lost in shipping, not Betstco's fault, and they send a second. Both arrive the same day. Installed the first and shipped the second back. Backhoe works great and still getting use to control pattern. Not comparable to a dedicated commercial backhoe/loader combo but for a backhoe off of your tractor three point/pto I don't think you will find one bigger/better. (Mounted on my John Deere 5325)
Have had excellent results with the backhoe been using it for clearing and stumps. Smaller hoe so it takes a little longer but, I also couldn't get a bigger machine in where I need to work. Had a small issue which they addressed immediately under warranty no questions asked! Can't say enough good things about the backhoe, AND Bestco thanks you guys your the best!!!
It’s been about a year since I’ve ordered my backhoe and have never regretted it. The operational smoothness and reliability is awesome, it’s the perfect compliment too my Kubota tractor. I’ve dug sewer lines, sprinkler lines and water lines. I love it!
