hey everyone,
On friday I picked up my tractor with my new woods 90x backhoe. It has a hydraulic thumb, subframe, and hydraulic pto pump. At first I was concerned about unhooking it and having to put all the 3pt hitch stuff back on but it wasn't bad at all.
here is a pic of the bh on the tractor:
here is a pic of the foot switch to control the thumb;
here is a pic of the thumb fully retracted
here is a pic of the thumb fully extended:
here is how I left it when it was taken off
I didn't get to use it much this weekend but I did dig a few holes with it and it seems to have sufficient digging power. Taking the hoe off wasn't too bad and it probably only took 5 minutes or so. I'm sure putting it back on will be a little more involved with lining it up but overall I think I'll be very happy with it. Up until a month or so ago I had a small/old trackhoe and decided to get this bh to replace it. From my initial impressions I'ld say that it will be on the tractor quite a bit this year.
