Backhoe DuAl backhoe

[BIGBLUETOY]

I'm looking at a used 3 point hitch DuAl backhoe model 106 with a PTO pump and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it or DuAl backhoes in general. The place that is selling it took it in on trade and can not provide any specs on it. Woods bought DuAl a while back and I do not find any spec info on DuAl backhoes on the Woods web page and I can not seem to find a DuAl web site.

Your best bet is to call Woods.

Don't know 'bout their backhoes, but let me guess. I've had a little experience with DuAl loaders, and their iron is strong, but their hydraulics are junque!! I have a DuAl loader on my JD that I threw all the hydraulic components away, and bought new from Northern Tool, and now have a decent FEL.
The DuAl system always leaked, and was S....L....O....W!!!!
So if the price is right; you can always modify. And, as I stated, the loader is strong... takes all I give it without bending or breaking anything, so it's gotta be good!! If the 'hoe is as strong as their loader, ya ain't gonna break it easily!!
