Hello, welcome. You won't be lovin' in New Jersey if you buy the Chinese backhoe. Check out the one Tommy at Affordable sells or a LITW. The tractors are a great bang for the buck, the Chinese backhoes make up for it.
With all due respect rmon905, punctuation is preferred.
It helps all of us understand each other better.
I used to have a LW-6 Chinese backhoe. Other people have them and have had good luck. Not me. I eventually sold it for $1,800.00 and purchased a LiTW BH7600. The difference is night and day. I've had the LiTW for over three years now and am very pleased with it. Tommy sells one called "Tom Cat" and it appears to be a very nice unit, has a curved boom like an excavator (like the new LiTW's).
If you go with the Chinese BH LW-6 you may have good luck or not. I am not saying the LW-6 will not work for you; others that have purchased it have not had problems with it. I have a Smart Trac 35HP with a LW-7 BH and had problems with lack of power on the BH so I re-designed the hydraulics by putting a Prince PTO pump on and larger inlet and outlet hoses. My BH is a real "ripper" now.
If I were going purchase a BH again I would take Bob Rooks advice and get a LITW and skip having to make modifications on a LW-7.
Here is a video of my LiTW in action with the Prince pump. Note the compound valve action – using three functions at once. That in itself is worth a few hundred bucks, which is not available on the Chinese valve stack, nor is the power-beyond in case you want to add a hydraulic thumb.
Also, here is Tommy's ** you don't have permission to see this link **.
