Topic

I have a relative who does plumbing and heating in South Jersey. A booming business for him has been running gas lines for pool heaters. Down in South Jersey the soil is sandy and has no rocks to speak of, so he bought a trencher
that rips right into the ground with no problem. On a few occasions he has tried to do jobs where you are, in North Jersey. As I'm sure you know, the digging is a diferent story up there. After almost ruining his trencher he has vowed never to contract jobs in the Northern half of the state again. It seems to me that if you contacted some plumbing and heating houses in your area they could probably use a guy with a backhoe.

Any Ideas on Making some money with my machine

I have a Woods 6500 with subframe mounted on my JD 855. The only subframe bracket that stays on the tractor when the backhoe is removed is mounted to the loader frame, so it does not interfere with the 3 point hitch at all. Of course you have to take the three point hitch arms and top link off to mount the backhoe, but that is as easy as pulling out the lynch pins and sliding them off.

As far as pricing, I'm sure it will vary depending on the cost of the subframe for your 790 and whether or not you get the pump kit (I did). I would highly recommend contacting Tractorman for a quote. I got my Woods from him and am glad I did, his pricing was rock bottom and service is excellent. Sorry I don't know his E-mail off the top of my head but you will see his name (with E-mail link) on other posts on this board.
