Anyone have any info on a Prairie Dog backhoe? How does it compare to other 3 point units, such as a Woods? Also throw in any advice for a novice that is tired of using a spade. Thanks

This is from a discussion a few months ago on the Tractorpoint (compact tractor board) forum. I wasn't involved and am only quoting:

"You need to call Woods to see if they make a subframe for your model tractor. Subframes are made specifically to fit the tractor. I will bet any amount of money you have to remove the 3 point lower arms but that is done easily and quickly. I have a Kubota B-2150 with a new Woods 1006 FEL and a new 7.5 foot Prairie Dog Backhoe which is a much improved Bulgarian manufactured COPY of the Woood's 7500 Backhoe with an 1/8 inch thicker dipperstick and boom steel PLUS DUAL swing cylinders and NOT a single cylinder chain swing. The Wood's subframe I bought integrated completely with my WOOD's 1006 FEL loader. The Praire Dog Backhoe weighs 1,057 pounds without bucket, has American hydraulic hose fittings, has a PTO pump option, and blows away Wood's hydraulic specifications with a $2000.00 cheaper pricetag. Being an engineer, the guy that redesigned and improved the already solid Wood's 7500 backhoe and got it manufactured in Bulgaria for a tremendous cost advantage, has one heck of a backhoe. The guy orders 30 at a time in containerized ocean shipped freight and can't order them fast enough to keep up with demand. Be prepared to pay 375 to 400 dollars for the Wood's subframe for your tractor to fit the 7500 backhoe, but it is well made and worth every penny. If you are still open to looking at one heck of a well made backhoe and you like the Wood's 7500, give the guy a call at 810-694-5314. He will send you the sales and specification sheet, plus if he hasn't a dealer nearby you you can buy directly from him since he is the manufacturer."

Hope it helps,
Bill
