So how old is the B20 and how is working for you. I am looking at one and not sure if is a good buy being 30yrs old. I can't find much on the B20's as far as how much they are worth in good condition, etc. Trying to find out how hard it is to remove backhoe and loader as I'm getting older now
I think it’s a mid 90s model. I got it thrown in with the house purchase last year. I think the value is going to depend a lot on the condition. Mine hadn’t been run or maintained in a while. I will say that they seem to run well. Mine runs good despite years of neglect. The hydraulics however are tough to deal with. Due to its age, I’m constantly having to place hoses that blow, and the worst is when I need to get a cylinder rebuilt because some are really hard to get out. I’ve never removed the loader but dont think it’s easy because they didn’t have the quick disconnects back then. The back hoe takes time to remove but can mostly be manipulated by the hydraulics to position it.
Is this the backhoe tractor that was on the property when you bought it?
Yes
