Backhoe Woods BH80-X Backhoe

Looking at hanging a hoe off the back of my L3130 HST. Which would be the better route to go for performance? The PTO pump or add rear remotes? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

We got our L3830 with a Woods BH9000, and it is
pto driven with it's own hydraulic system. Don't have to worry about contaminating the tractor's hydraulic system. It takes regular hydro oil, not special $UDT.

I also have a 3130 and was going to get the woods bh80 x but went with the bradco 9 ft w/ thumb . It works off the tractor hydraulics and is no problem. I think the bradco is a nicer backho and is a real heavy duty piece of equipment. It has a 18" bucket and digs like no tomorrow.

SD does the Bradco have a subframe option? PTO pump option? I would prefer a separate pump for reasons Jimainiac points out as well as less wear on the tractor's hydraulic pump. Thanks for the replies.
