[QUOTE="goldeneagle, post: 7561611, member: 18962"] Do you have a lot of buckets for your 3cx? The NH has a wider hitch so would be expensive to change. I changed from a 89 3cx with a manual hitch to a 99 NH 95 with a manual quick hitch. The 3cx was ok but half the dash lights didn’t work and the cab was suffering usual tin rot. The NH has been a revelation, quich hitch is a must as use buckets as a face shovel a lot of time, has loader suspension as well which when not on you notice. Has been relatively reliable, on 8k hrs and had usual burst hoses and a starter. Parts for the New Holland seem reasonably priced I found compared to JCB. The controls on stick based NH were the same as JCB so no familiarisation needed. If I was buying another backhoe would be a LB 110. Understand they are the jack of all trades master of none but where you need to dig a hole that takes an hour or so to do and transport materials at same time they are invaluable. Bought mines for house build and also had to put in 500m of road so paid itself in no time with its versatility and ability to move location quickly. Would think you will need at least 50k to buy something relatively new if that’s what you intend. [/QUOTE]
