Nice backhoe in first listing though look at picture of back boom hydraulic ram, looks to be welded right above the pivot point.
Anyways here's the dilemma, got here when we did in middle of winter ran backhoe far as possible till enough is enough and won't go any further without replacing and rebuilding tons of parts with the backhoe I am going to get. We are talking rams, steering ram, boom, and other stuff you can not universally get to replace and can't be repaired and for any future repairs.
Would love to afford one of those you have listed but that would require about 6 months of savings and a pole barn needs to go up in next 90 days or less (main atrium) if possible which requires excavation of about 40 by 32 feet for whole project of 5 to 6 ft down to make it level enough, it's about halfway there. At latest I need this done before first frost hits here.
Also have a gravel pit that I am moving rock from that is precarious on time frame of anything can go to shut it down before I am done i.e. they decide to sell the place, that I am taking too long, their son wants to move in and doesn't want anyone there list goes on.
This will not jut be a grab a parts backhoe either, between the two I will decide which one gets all the parts that I am getting, the one that doesn't get the parts will be stripped down to basic tractor format, which FEL and backhoe will be taken off along with all hydraulics except the hydraulic motor, at which point I will convert the tractor to a hydraulic driven bush hog with other implements to run by hydraulics. I can always drive a tractor with no weight on the front without power steering that's easy and won't be mowed much, might get one or two cuttings here a season just enough to keep fuel from any wildfires away.
Not going to spend my whole summer and next winter in a truck camper with nothing to do cause backhoe went down and all my projects are shutdown. Somethings you can't put a price on out here especially when it comes to my sanity.
