There was a thread here within the last year showing photos of a NASTY fracture near an upper link that was not braced for a backhoe. Broke the tranny housing and you could see the innards. Very ugly.

Code,

If you havn't pulled the trigger on the BH yet you may want to look at the Woods BH6500.

I have the BH6500 with sub-frame on my B7610. Doesn't hook up to the 3ph at all. I have dug so hard with the hoe that I have had the front-end of the tractor bouncing up and down with no ill effects (yet).

This Woods hoe has taken a beating. If you go to the Woods website thet have a new curved boom - looks pretty slick. Not sure of the pricing. I paid $6k for hoe, subframe & install

My opinion for what its worth. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Good Luck
