Backhoe Woods Groundbreaker Backhoe

[nbennett]

I purchased the backhoe for my BX2200 and installed it this past week. The installation took a little less than 9 hrs. Most of the work involved taking bolts out and putting longer bolts back in to secure the sub-frame. An impact wrench and air ratchet were my best friends. Most of the bolts were 19mm or 22mm( 7/8"). There was nothing at all complicated about the installation and the manual was very good. Its going to take me a lot longer to learn how to use it properly than it did to install.

I've been really impressed with that hoe. I love the design, and that it allows better clearance. Woods equipment usually seems to always provide everything one needs and the tolerances always seem to be right on. No grinding out holes to get them to match up!
Congrats. You'll get used to that backhoe faster than you can believe. Just practice practice practice!

I think your going to like it. I have a Woods B7500. It does a h**l of a job. My only suggestion is, while you are getting a feel for the controls, run at modest engine rpm (say 15-1800rpm or so). You'll have less of a problem with "jerky" motions and soon enough you'll develop a "soft hand."
