2210 backhoe... who has advice?

JD2210MAN · Jun 5, 2006

Ok, it is time that I serously consider a backhoe for my 2210. I know that several of you have purchased different brands of backhoes. Can you give us your opinion and preformance updates? You should have had some serous play time in the seats by now. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

rvtech has one on his 2305 - that would give you some good performance indication I would think.

I'm satisfied with my BH6000. I have not seen or operated any others, so I can't compare.

I do need to use it more, but since I am now mowing every 3 to 5 days, I have not been able to.

I personally like the BH6000 but I have no local dealers. I am willing to travel to get it. My JD dealer wants me to get a Wallenstien from him, of course. I think the Wallenstien has an inferior mounting system which puts too much strain on the chassis.

Did you get the external pump for your BH6000?
Did you lose much ground clearance with the brackets?

No external pump. I have not measured ground clearance difference. The only difference is directly under the rear axle. It may be an inch or 2. I'll measure it if I remember today.
