The interesting thing about mine is that the side-to-side swing of the machine is not provided by conventional hydraulic rams. The swing is provided by a single rotary hydraulic 'cylinder' at the base of the boom. I've never had take the cylinder apart so I have no real idea how it works. There are no markings on the hoe so I don't know the brand. It may be a particulary Australian attachment because another Australian TBN member contacted me a few years ago after seeing one of these photos. The hoe has its own pump, powered by the PTO.

That is the way my ford is. It has a large chain attached to the swing cylinders. Was kinda iffy about it at first. But so far no problems!

Don the cab on that allis is big enough to live in! At least you got a nice warm and dry space to say if your wife sends you to the dog house!

Sounds like its one horizonal piston and the cylinder is connected to the chain for the side to side.The woods 650 and 750 are similiar.I had that piston leak from the first new delevery and was replaced. and no proglems since, except that I tore off one casting end but that was from sharp snapping caused from me and a rock..So in 25 plus years its done well seemed to lack alot of side swing pushing power but I assume it it had more then other pronlems would occure.QUOTE=alchemysa;3162333]The interesting thing about mine is that the side-to-side swing of the machine is not provided by conventional hydraulic rams.
