What type of soil are you going to dig into?
My Deere 4115 is in the same class as the B7800. I have some serious hard-pan on some areas of my land. The 4115/46 backhoe will dig it and the BX22 before it did too..... but the really hard stuff will slow it down a bit more than a larger, heavier model.
The beauty of this size tractor/backhoe is that it will transport on a 7000 pound GVW trailer and can be towed with a heavy/half ton pick-up.

For what you have to do I'd be starting ith the L-39 and write it off aggainst the buisness. I prefer the Kubota attachments over the Woods just for mounting and the warrantee even though performance is relatively close. You do need a 10,000lb trailer for it and only a 3/4 ton pickup. ....

thanks for the info. i bought a b7800 with a woods loader and a woods 7.5 hoe.it was a rental with 98 hours. i sold them the 7.5 hoeback and bought a new 8 foot ground braker hoe with the curved boom, it has over a thousand pounds more bucket curl force. i got a 12 inch and a 20 inch bucket.total cost $18767.78 not bad i guess. my 8 ft hoe wolnt be installed for 2 weeks, so my first job for the machine will be a 2 wall exterior waterproofing job. ill let ya know how it does. and again when i install the new 8 ft hoe. need any help with basement water problems let me know ill answer your questions as best i can. i just couldnt afford the l39 right now. thanks benny
