Grand L40 cab and Woods BH90-X

[Timan]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a Woods BH90-X backhoe on a L40 series cab tractor. How it fits? How well does it run? I am considering this setup and there aren't any available in my area to demo. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

My local dealer in NH does this configuration regularly. I opted for a Bradco on my 5740 Cab

Mind if I ask why you opted for the Bradco?

I got a Bradco 511, which is an 11' depth vs 9' on the woods. It also has more digging force despite the longer length. It also has a real nice factory hydraulic thumb with a foot peddle control

I used a Woods 9000 a number of years ago and the Bradco has much more strength. Looking at the specs, the BH90 is beefed up compared to the 9000 so there might not be as much difference now.

The downside of Bradco is that they are expensive - around $9500 to $10k installed without the Thumb. I think the Woods is $7k to $8k
