Chris covers the 66-inch bucket, 2,300-lb breakaway force, non-removable loader, 26hp three-cylinder, BT-820 backhoe specs (8-ft dig, 4,200-lb force), dated operator station, and lighting shortcomings. No hands-on operation, but the model comparisons and honest notes on age and price help buyers calibrate expectations.
A dealership channel (Huckabones Equipment), so the walkaround is sales-adjacent, though the presenter does flag drawbacks like dated technology and the non-removable loader without glossing over them.
The B26 has a 66-inch front bucket that is a bit bigger and deeper, with about 2,300 pounds of breakaway force, roughly 800 pounds more than the LX and L01 series.
No, the loader is non-removable. Unlike smaller tractors with pins and a stand, you can only have the loader taken off at the dealership.
The BT-820 backhoe digs just over eight feet with a flat bottom and has a breakaway force of 4,200 pounds, which Kubota calls construction grade.
It has only two halogen work lights and no front headlights, so it gets dark quickly. A light bar or extra lights are recommended.
