Lately I have been thinking about doing a lot of landscaping around our property myself. I have a Case DX26 with a front loader, but am now thinking about a backhoe. My thought is to use it for digging holes for planting trees, digging up rocks in the yard, digging up stumps, and using it to cut down some hight spots/general grading that is too much for the loader in the yard. I am thinking of the Woods BH70-X, which i believe would cost around $6000. Has anyone used this hoe on their tractors around my size, and if so, does it perform well. What do or don't you like about it. And is $6000 the right price range, I haven't fully looked into it, but i believe my dealer said it would be around that when I asked a while ago. Thanks in advance for your help. I think it is something I would like to get, but would like to hear how people feel about their performance. I think is it too small and therefore not worth it, but then I see what people do with their subcompacts and backhoes and think this one, being bigger should work fine for my needs. We have rocky, new england soil if that makes a difference. Thanks.
