Andy the TC35D I drove did not have a loader mounted, all controls are where you would want them, hydro pedels are easy to operate it is really a nice tractor. So why am I buying the JD? Main reason for me buying a tractor is for the backhoe. New Holland does not have a hoe to fit this tractor yet, Woods does not have a subframe bracket to fit yet, I do not want a three point hitch mounted hoe and everyone says its three months out before they will be available. I am an electrical contractor who has done all the electrical work for the JD dealership in this area going back 30 years, grew up right next door to this place as a small kid and always wanted a green tractor! All that said I think the JD may be just a little bit better made tractor. Will have to pay more up front to buy but may also be worth more 10 years down the road and I also want the Power Reverser transmission, not offered by New Holland. If I could get the hoe I want and did not have the ties to this dealership that I have good chance I'd buy Blue.

Looked at a Woods 9000 back hoe mounted on a New Holland 2120 tractor with a sub-frame kit. My question is how easy is it to remove and reinstall hoe with this mounting system. Looks like where you have to line up frame to hoe when mounting is under tractor, can't see from seat, two man job? Hoe has lots of power and is smooth operating but want the ability to remove and reinstall by myself. Also was quoted a price of $6,900 for hoe with sub-frame installed. Plan to have this hoe mounted on a JD 4500 anybody with this setup already? Have also looked at JD 48 backhoe and biggest plus is the ease of mounting and removing hoe, hoe mounts tight to back of tractor, less overhand. Drawbacks are not all wear points have replacable bushings, one foot less reach, and a little less power than the Woods hoe. Any input from JD 48 hoe owners would be appreciated

I am looking to by a J.D. 4500 tractor with front loader and backhoe. Will get the 460 loader but am having a problem in selecting a hoe. Have looked at the JD 48 and the Woods 9000 hoes and the Woods hoe looks to be better made hoe. Does anyone have experience with the Woods 9000 hoe?
