I just typed along post on different TLB's and it got lost, so here is a short version. Dynahoes are heavy,slow, and built like a tank. Biggest problem is no individual wheel brakes. The brakes are used a lot in backdraging and and grading. Case started with the 580, then 580B, then C and so one. The D was the first with the 4-390 engine, but some of the D's also had the 188D. All the E and later letters had the 4-390. Ford 555, and 555B, and most 555C's had a 3 cyl engine, the 555D and later had a more powerful 4 cyl.
If trenching/digging is the bulk of what you will be using it for the extend-a-hoe is great.
If main use is clearing/ grading/farm use, I'd opt. for a 4x4. I know you can get yourself out of a slick spot with the loader/hoe, but with 4x4, you probably get to where you need to without turning the seat. It seems as if every time I need to use it it's muddy and on a slope. HTH, Nat
