Backhoe 2210 Backhoe

And into the fray of Wallenstein GX500/600, Woods BH-6000, Land Pride 1260, comes the Terex-Fermec backhoe on a 2210!

That is a scary looking BH. Way too far up in the air for me on such a small machine. Also, it looks like if you jolted the BH (and didn't fall over,) you'd bend your back around the ROPs.

Looks like you need a ladder to get on it!

JD does not offer a BH for the 2210, not because they don't want to make $, but because that machine was not designed for a BH. It would be way under-powered and dangerous to operate. A BH on a machine like the 2210 would be nothing more than "pick and scratch". IMHO, totally useless for digging anything but planting small shrubs in loose soil and it would still be faster by hand. If folks want a small machine with a BH, go orange. They will put a BH on anything - whether it does anything or not! BTW, make sure your life policy is paid up first.
