Strengths Curved boom looks great, like all Woods stuff the build is solid. Performance is good, a bit more than you would expect from a small tractor.

Weaknesses The mounting system is not as good as what Kubota offers on the BX23. I saw the dealer take the BX hoe on and off and it was a snap, the Woods requires for fiddeling. Also had some QC issues that where covered by warrenty.

Overall If you want a backhoe for a subcompact this is one of your only options. If you have an existing tractor and want a hoe its probably cheaper than trading up to a new machine. I would not consider it on a new machine, BX23 all the way!

Strengths works well on small stomps, and digs great. for the average home owner it is a great machine.

Weaknesses It small and if you have alot of digging it takes longer. Need to make a finger to fit unit

Overall great machine
