Selling a Woods BH6000, buying a KB2465

[JonKioti]

Hi all,

I would have liked to be able to demo the Kioti KB2465 first, however the one dealer I have around here doesn't stock this model. I did take a look at one at Rick's, and my uncle also has one; I just didn't have a chance to try it.

In looking at it, compared with the Woods, the Kioti is much larger and the hydralics are much more substantial. There are two rams for swing compared to a single ram on the Woods. It's not so much the Woods is not a good backhoe, its that it is a much smaller unit. Since the KB2465 is Kioti's recommendation for the CK-20, I'll assume it should work with my tractor.

Yeah, the price is a little more than I would like, however there is a limited market for my model Woods here; I suspect my dealer will have it in their inventory for a little while. This is one of those times I'll have to bite the bullet on the cost, but such is life when you live on an island.

I'll post some before and after pictures.

Thanks for your comments.

Jon

In this area, half the guys with CUT's are looking for a used hoe to hang off it.

Jon, FYI, on my 2376, each of the swing cylinders is single acting.

Therefore, not sure how much difference between the twin single acting and the single double acting.

On the little hoe I had on my old Kubota I had a single swing cylinder and that thing swung with as much if not more force than my Kioti.

Either way I'm certain you'll be pleased.
