I have started looking for a backhoe for my Branson 4720I. Two options I am considering.
Option #1) The Branson hoe that is made by Ameriquip. This is Branson #8600. This unit has a sub frame and operates off the tractor hyd. supply. 3730 lbs digging force. Digs a 8'-6" deep hole with a 2' flat bottom.
Option #2) A Woods 90 X series. This unit has a sub frame and operates off a PTO pump for hyd. supply. 4180/5070 lbs digging force. Digs a 9'-0" deep hole with a 2' flat bottom.
Pricing is close. I am leaning toward the Woods hoe because of the extra reach and increased digging force. Does anyone have experience with these.
