Backhoe

[EricG]

Hi all I have a Branson 4720 that is have done a lot of work with and love it but now I am looking to do some backhoe work. My question is what is the best backhoe out there?

I have a Branson 3820 and I have put on a Woods BH90X backhoe and it is very well built and strong. It really needs its own pto pump to make it quicker, but so far I have not added one. It is fine, plenty of power, just not as fast as it could be. Quite pricey though. I looked at the Branson backhoes which are made by Ansung, and they are fine, and less money. I got a great deal on mine because it had been sitting at a local Mahindra dealership for two years and they wanted it gone. I repainted it black and never looked back.

I am looking at a woods with its own reservoir and pump. So my question now is do I need one with a reservoir and pump or am i ok just getting a branson one with out? does it make that much of a difference?

What ever back hoe you purchase be sure it includes a sub frame mount.
I have a New Holland TC45D tractor with a sub frame mount back hoe that works beautifully. A bit of a PITA to hook up however. When I get around to constructing a castered dolly for the back hoe that annoyance should go away.
