MIKE It is like this IF Backhoe is 80 % of what he is doing , yes then buy the dedicated L 39, but for most home owners the backhoe is just part of the use. We take and make the back hoe mount on the BH 70 & 90 into a rigid mount and extend the loader mount full length of the tractor. That prevents what you see when someone hangs a stump with the hoe, pulls the front off the ground then the sudden drop breaks the clutch housing. You can tear up anything but do not see that problem with our 3 point or secondary mount hoes. People get carried away with horsepower but really something in the 35 hp range seems to fit a lot of homeowners. Gets you where the rotary cutter will cut the tractor width that is something I try to encourage most to do. This is a site dedicated to OLD tractors and as such I try not to say much about new tractors but these folks that tell young folks to go out and buy a 50 yr old 8n expecting it to do it all are really just doing the kid a injustice IF he can afford the newer unit. See so many go buy a paint job overhauled 50 year old tractor. Pay too much first off, then get it home something small say water pump goes , no big deal $ 65 bucks he is going, then next little more expensive break say radiator, 250.00 ,throw in another 200 for something then all of sudden say the clutch goes. Now he spends another 600 so now he is up to 4 grand or so then the motor lays down he either has a 4 thousand dollar chunk or iron or has to put 25 hundred and now has 65 hundred in a 25 hundred dollar tractor. Shows up wanting to trade it and just dies when we tell him we can only allow him 15 hundred. See it happened ever day , however not near as much now as it was 10 years ago. Slowly the younger bunch are wanting new compact 4 wheel drives and willing to spend to have that usable unit. Sorry for the long post.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
