Across from work is an equipment dealer and a shiny new backhoe showed up. I had to inquire. It was a JBC backhoe for about $128,000. I started looking online and the rest of the big-name brands are at a similar price and much more depending on the options. Then I came across an ad for a 2022 New Holland B75D with enclosed cab, with decent options. It has an extendahoe, plumbed for a hammer circuit, 4X4, 3rd spool loader hydraulics for attachments. It has a 74HP FPT 3.4L with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst(DOC). It outlifts(8,157lbs) and digs(18') the competition. It weighs around 18,300lbs. All this for under just under $80,000. Is this an overlooked piece of equipment? Has anyone used this new series of backhoe? I'm intrigued.
