Ron get the JD48. The 48 has more lifting & digging power than the Woods 7500.
The biggest advantage of the 48 over the 7500 is the ease of mounting & unmounting. The 7500 is a 3 pt or can be used with a sub frame. The 48 is a frame mount and can be installed or removed in about 5 minutes, with one person and all from the tractor seat. This includes removing or installing the 3 pt lift arms, but not from the tractor seat. I have had my 48 since June and I would not trade it for anything. Chris ....

Ron, just a added note. My dealer quoted me a price of $6465 plus tax, installed. It included the JD48 hoe, the mounting assy, 12" bucket and power beyond additional hydraulics. The qoutes I got on the Woods 7500 with a subframe mount were right in the same price range.
Go with the JD48, it's a heavier unit. Another compariable hoe is the Bradco 408 but I'm not sure what the mounting system is like. ....
