The loader is a New Holland LB620. It was made by General in the early 80's and New Holland picked up the design through the mid 80's (at least that's how I believe it happened.) It has a 53hp Onan 4 cylinder diesel and can pick up well in excess of 2500 lb. The backhoe has something like an 11,000 break-out force. The digging capabilities aren't so slow, but the travel speed is slow. That and the lack of part availability are probably the biggest downfalls.On a different note..I like your avatar ! What kind of loader is that ? When the pic was small...I thought it was an old Dynahoe...like my grandfather had ! When my uncle refers to the quickness of its digging capabilities...he calls it the "Dyna-Slow !!!
Anyway..I see now that its not a Dyna-Slow !! Just curious !
