I own a woods 9000, mounted on a Kubota L4310. It has only been used about 10 hours as of yet, and I am very happy with it so far. It is subframe mounted,
and also has the pto pump option. I am from Massachusetts, and all the dealers
I dealt with would not sell a backhoe without the subframe. Bucket size is
18". I don't know anything about the New Holland hoe, but I am very haapy with
the Woods hoe. As for my experiance, I also have a 1961 Case 530 which was bought new by my Dad. He had the 3 point hitch and pto removed, and had a
backhoe mounted permanently. It will dig about 14' deep. As far as ripping roots around stumps, the old Case is still stronger, but the new machine is
much more manuverable, and I don't do any big work any more. Good Luck with
which ever you purchase.

Carsten,
I have just gone through what you are doing. It took me about a year to
decide just what I wanted. I ended up with the L4310 HST with FEL,and Woods
9000 BH. I chose the HST over the GST as a matter of personal preference. Our
old machine has a shuttle transmission which requires clutching. Also I chose
the 4310 over the L35 only as my own personnal preference. They are both
great machines, which can do an amazing amount of work. The L35 does have a
more powerful BH, according to the specs, but for what I am doing my machine
will do everything I need, and I still have the old case for the bigger work.
Good luck with whatever you purchase.

We took delivery two weeks ago of our<br> new tractor. L 4310 HST, LA 681 loader, Woods 9000 backhoe, with subframe, and PTO pump. R4 loaded tires. It now has 16 hours on it, and it is amazing what this machine can do. This is down sizing for me, as our<br>old tractor is a 1961 Case, model 530, which<br>is equipped with a front end loader, and backhoe. I am very happy with the HST, and<br>for loader work it is great. The ease of handling is very good. The weight difference of the 4310, versus the 530 is about 6000 lbs. It took me over a year to make my mind<br>up, and this web site has been one of my best rescources of information. <br>
