The john Deere high lift with the backhoe is awesome!
The interesting thing about mine is that the side-to-side swing of the machine is not provided by conventional hydraulic rams. The swing is provided by a single rotary hydraulic 'cylinder' at the base of the boom. I've never had take the cylinder apart so I have no real idea how it works. There are no markings on the hoe so I don't know the brand. It may be a particulary Australian attachment because another Australian TBN member contacted me a few years ago after seeing one of these photos. The hoe has its own pump, powered by the PTO.
And the link below is of a JCB, that I've never quite seen used in this type of application, but would like to see it in action..!!.

Can't believed how many kubotas there are on here! Must be sum really good tractors!
Attached is a picture of my '79 Case 480C, as I'm running electric service to my new horse barn. Has the extenda-hoe, and sure is handy for reaching back, and cleaning up the crumbs in the trench. Relatively decent shape, with a dab over 2500 original hours, other then the PO apparently not knowing what a grease gun is.
