Backhoe MF 1533 with 1575 backhoe

[robomarc]

Hi,

Im about to buy a MF 1533 with 1525 FEL and backhoe.

I hesitate between the MF 1575 backhoe and the woods bh80-x.

I havent seen the MF or the Woods other than in the brochures.

Anybody have compared the two?

Thanks

I recently bought a MF1533 with a Bradco 408 BH. I don’t have any experience using either the MF or Woods BH, but my experience using the Bradco is nothing short of fantastic. The power is outstanding even with the tractor at 1500 rpm. Here in New Hampshire (at least where I am) each bite of soil is loaded with rocks. The Bradco is definitely up to the challenge. On paper the Bradco 408 and Woods BH80X are very close - Bradco ahead on some stats, Woods ahead on others. Keep the Bradco in mind when you go looking.

I maybe wrong about this one, but the MF1575 looks to be the same a the MF 1475 with different stickers. If I am wrong someone tell me. I have had a 1475 for 2.5 years. I have done a lot of digging with it and to does a real good job. I know someone that has a Bradco and they work it a lot and they are also pleased with it. Lot of help? They are both good hoes.
