Anyone have one or have opinions on them. Looking for a compact backhoe and a guy told me that it is pretty much the same as new holland but a better price. Looking for a compact backhoe tractor without a kubota price tag.

I have a XR3135H with 140 hours on it. Really pleased with it and significantly less money than the competition. LS also had dual outlets, rear work lights and hydro shift which were extras on the others.
The tractor did have a front wheel seal leak which the dealer came and replaced the whole axle. The dealer also showed me pictures of his plant tour which is in South Korea.
In the pictures there were LS, New Holland & Case IH tractors on the assembly line.
In my opinion backhoes for compacts are really pricy. If you have used an actual backhoe or excavator you will go nuts using one of these. Around here I can rent a mini for 8 hours for $250 and get the job done in a fraction of the time. You could rent on many times and still not be near the cost of a compact backhoe. Just my thoughts & I understand you may have other reasons. I too rent a min-ex. If your looking at a compact tractor primarily because of the back hoe rent a min-ex for a day then a sub compact tractor and compare. No way you'd want a tractor over a mini-ex for back hoe work.

I would rent a mini ex to dig whatever hole needs digging. The return the thing and once the hole needs filling back in, use the front loader of the tractor. I'll do that when I get going on the in ground installations at the house site. Rent one for a weekend and have all the holes and trenches dug and return it. Then put in the lines and tank etc. and fill back in with the front loader at my leisure. 400 bucks in mini ex rent and done.

I get what you guys are saying about renting a mini for digging and I would when I have a lot to dig but there are so many little odd jobs I can do around the house with a backhoe on the tractor. Probably going to go check out a ls this afternoon at the dealer.
