Holy sh!te! How tall is that hoe? Looks like it could dig 20' below ground level. What does the 5500 have for an engine?

Definitely a difference in size.

Rated @ 17' digging depth:thumbsup: Has a horizontal reach of about 20'. And yeah, its tall. Even the top of the loader arms are about 6' high.

I believe it is the 256ci diesel engine. Somewhere around 80HP

Wow, I bet all the other little backhoes are pretty envious of that monster
I need to borrow that to transplant a shrub
Did you loose something in China? and want to dig around to see if you can find it:laughing::laughing:

Pretty impressive, for real.

that really shows the difference in the typical '"compact tractor"
and an industrial piece of equipment. thanks for sharing.

it's amazing how many people think that because they are
buying a "tractor" with a backhoe that they are buying an
industrial piece of equipment. there's no comparison to
what that can do compared to a 30-40hp compact with
backhoe, even these dedicated TLB units.

Hey, I had one of those when I was a kid. I can't tell you how many yards of dirt I moved with that rig (many, many, many).

Of course.... mine was made by ERTL........
