Are Backhoe's for Sub-Compact Tractors Worth it? John Deere 260B and Kubota BH77

This video directly argues the case for subcompact backhoes by working through three common objections, are they worth the cost, why not just rent a mini excavator, and are they strong enough, with honest, reasoned answers rather than promotional talk. It compares the John Deere 260B and Kubota BH77 side by side during an actual bush-removal job, discusses used-market pricing and the power-beyond kit requirement for retrofitting, and acknowledges where mini excavators win. Best for shoppers genuinely on the fence.
