Just Got My H24 with Backhoe.

[col_kurtz]

Has the factory installed diverter on the loader, my next purchase is a grapple. I got a 48" Bad Boy Rotary Cutter as part of the deal. I have 5+ acres on the Treasure Coast of Fl. This guy is going to get a work out and take care of some long overdue projects.

You might just be the first Solis owner on here, if you don't count the ITL made Summit tractors. Even then, you'd be number two or three! So suffice to say, they're not all that common in the North American market yet, and I'm excited to hear about your thoughts on the tractor. I hope you stick around, share more photos, and keep us up to date with how she treats you. They're really popular machines in Europe, and I'm sure they'll make their own space in the market here as well.

Congratulations to the new tractor, may you get many years with her!

Also, that backhoe subframe looks rather stout.

Start digging for treasure !

So far I am quite impressed with the whole setup. The backhoe is a beast and yes it has quite the subframe. The dealer included a diverter on the loader so my next purchase is a grapple. I am also looking at a stump hoe for the front to take down melaleuca saplings among others.

Only thing I see as a detraction is... Not much ground clearance

Grapples are a joy, for sure!

There are a number of stump hoes, or stump buckets, out there; the one that's caught my eye is the GWT Stump Wrecker.

Yeah, but that's pretty typical of these smaller machines; they ought to still prove useful for many folks out there.

Least it don't have a belly mount mower to get wadded up.

I'm curious about that too... My hills and ditches may make that difficult to maneuver.

Would love to hear how it's performing for you! I was hoping to get one and have some videos going but that may not be the cards for my H24, we shall see. Digging power? Speed? Clearance? - Thanks!

3 hours between charges blows big time too. Of course not for me, way too tiny.

This post is about the diesel version of the H24, not the electric. No charging, just a 6 gallon tank...

As far as speed, she moves a good clip. I had the WR Long True Third function installed to replace the Diverter that was installed and delivered to me apparently by mistake. The Titan/IronCraft works great. The Backhoe has been useful especially removing melaleuca trees. I am going to use it to dig and build a shooting berm and backstop, work in progress. Been a great help cleaning up felled trees from previous hurricanes.

Please keep us posted on how the Solis continues to work. I llike the tractor specs, it should be a workhorse. Thanks for posting an update.

That backhoe and mount is a LOT heavier and heavier duty than the ones being sold overseas!
ref: Backhoe - Solis
The overseas model seems to be a 3 point mount.
I wonder if they will offer both versions here and what the difference in cost would be?

Does it drag loading ?

 

[col_kurtz]

Loving this setup, been ripping down brazillian peppers and Melaleucas.

You ought to see about getting a grille guard insert, something to make sure your grille and radiator don't get a puncture. There are a number of threads around here that can give you ideas.

Very nice machine!
