I don't know about the Great bend but the
Woods 7500 has a chain and cylinder set-up
to swing boom.
I had a 7500 and traded up to a 9000 later
from an individual (this has 2 cylinders on swing).
Woods is real easy to get parts or info
from, I had to get new mount for the 9000 to
my SSL.

problems w/ it in 4yrs. I had it.

In the 70's I had a small hoe with chain swing. Had to keep my toolbox full of master links for it. Would never have onother one designed that way.

I recently bought a Bush Hog 765. The reason that I went with it was the specs on it were greater that the Woods 7500, and it has 2 swing cylinders. I have been very happy with this unit. I got it with the subframe and separate PTO Pump. I have wanted one of these since I was about 10 Years old /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I finally got it. I said to myself how much longer should I have to wait. I crushed a disk in my back that required back surgery to correct, and I need to start working smarter, not like an animal (like the way I used to), if you know what I mean.....

I almost did'nt get the Woods 7500 because of the chain swing mechanism. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif Talked to dealer , he said they had no problems at all with the chains and a friend who had one for 8 yrs. said the same. I went with the Woods on good faith and I really have worked it hard for 200 hrs /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif. so far, without a problem. The 16''bucket, that I have is made by Gannon and it 's one tough unit and very well designed. with HD replaceable teeth./w3tcompact/icons/love.gif I would recommend it highly. ..RayBee PS. ( You did'nt mention what tractor you were mating to this BH) ..but I would also recommend the subframe unit over the 3PT. ..Safer!
