2305 and Rhino backhoe

[fdmars]

looking fior a backhoe for my tractor. so far I see 3 options, a JD260 at about $5500.00, Woods at about the same and a Rhino, which I saw on a thread was about $1600.00 cheaper? Anyone used one? have any comments on which one works best?
Thanks Fred

My only comment is to make SURE it's a subframe mounted hoe, and NOT a 3PH mounted one.

after making a few calls found out it is a 3pt hitch attachment and costs more than a JD260, so that is out....

I thought it might be a 3PH mount...but I am very surprised to hear it's more than the JD model!
