I find myself finally in the happy situation of begin able to look for a used tractor-backhoe. I currently own an 8N with a Wagner loader which I will keep. I would like some opinions as to what would be a good choice. I intend to use it mainly to dig gravel, dig/pull stumps, and build tractor roads. I don't think I really want a full sized backhoe with the cab and all that because that kind of rig seems too big. I was thinking more along the lines of an older Case with loader on front & backhoe at the rear since they were made to handle a backhoe. So if anyone has any opinions as to Case, Ford, John Deere, or other models, please let me know. Also, if you know of specific models to steer away from, I would like to know that too. I have maybe up to $6000 for this machine.
Thanks, Carl S. in NH
