I dont know if the BH for your unit is the same as the one I might buy [CK 35] but Mine has a Woods on it so I compared that one that comes with it and the woods. Thw woods Specs were much more robust and a lot heavier. Randy

Woods BH90x
digging depth 109" with 2ft flat, 91" for 8ft flat
bucket digging force 4180lb or with power setting 5070lbs
dipper stick force 2900lbs

Basically it is a true 9ft BH while I think the Kioti is 8.5ft. Both are excellent machines though. I'm pretty sure the Woods is more expensive. When I bought it I didn't think the difference was very much. Don't recall the details of pricing.

The Woods has a unique feature where you can set the bucket to either a normal "fast curl" setting or a power "slow curl" setting. I always have had mine on the power setting as I am digging or ripping rather than shoveling but if I was moving piles of loose dirt it would be faster to set it on the normal position.

Got to say I'm pretty happy with my Woods BH-70x. I have used it a lot over the past 3 1/2 years. One of the main reasons I got the Woods was it did come with a factory thumb. The Kioti backhoe I saw when first looking had a "home made" one. It was only a two potion, my Woods has a 7 position and is certainly better and stronger.

If you say so.

Not only the HST but motor bearings and the wheels tend to come off
