finally got some use out of my woods 6500 hoe.
since I got it last year it's been at my stepdads place doing work for him
back when we got it, I was considering that hoe or one of those tow behind models at northern tools / harbor freight. after looking at the use that's been done and seeing both ( have a local northern tools with 1 in stock ).. i think I easilly have made the correct decision going with the woods 3pt hoe. blew the pressure line on the pump but it had been kinked and I knew it was gonna go eventually. 32$ later and it was up and running again.
gug out some old drainage tile at a friends house and then pulled out a hedge row where he was going to finish up some dog fencing. his dogs dig bad so we were putting in 6' chain link burried 1' to make a 5' fence above ground.
hoe worked perfectly. I like having the 90' side swing arc for dumping dirt.. the hf/nt model only has a 60' side arc.. plus is run off a 2.7gpm pump on a 8hp lawnmower engine..
kinda nice having it on a tractor to maneuver back in to a place.. even nice mounted on a tractor with a loader.
subframe and beefed up top cover mount supports I built worked ( and has been ) working perfectly.
