I guess what comes around goes around. I remember back in late fifties and through the sixties Small crawler HighLift's with rear backhoe were common. Case, John Deere, and even Cat and Allis Chalmers had them as options. Then they disappeared. Nice unit, we have four JCB Tele-skids. TGP
Looks like an interesting machine, running a backhoe in an orchard can be tricky at times. Some backhoe “experts” get triggered when they see a modified orchard backhoe for some reason. Still remember seeing the first JCB at the farm show as a kid with my dad and hearing they it would go 40 mph. Now years later I am starting to see them pulling silage trailers and it would be on the list for a number of harvest jobs.
Yeah there is an outfit with a few 8330's pulling those 3 axle trailers running around. Not sure who it is though. Makes a lot of sense, no more truck reg, truck insurance, no DOT, and no class a required
