This is not mine I know nothing about it.  Listed for sale in Greenfield Iowa, as a diesel hydro for $9900.00 on a lot.  Email me for a phone number.

Same price as they were selling for 20 years back .. 
Big machine  1 1/2 yd bucket  18' hoe and lot of weight on 2WD machine . If one has the room to run it , nothing wrong with machine but not for confined space work.

Based on 190 Industrial tractor I believe.  

With dead weight of the hoe cantilevered of the back, would think the finals and axles would have been upsized, but have never been around one.  Anyone know?

I know my 816 gets stuck easy in sand country. Too much waigh on the back. But it is the best thing since sliced bread, for picking rock. For $9900 I could get a nice Case 580. And have half the trouble of finding parts.

My 715B is good in sand as well as just about every other thing but mud that is real deep . No problem as it has the axle lock for rear and with that in it climb well, used it for snow plowing many times also where ice would not allow 4WD truck to push snow. 
 It's next to impossible to get stuck with a TLB in many cases as the hoe is also the next thing to drive or move the full unit to stable ground. Have also used the hoe to push oneself up steep grade or to swing full unit into position where one could not drive .

No was standard on the 715B , small button lever under seat on floorboard , step down and it locked both rear wheels  to drive . You had to hold it in for when taking foot off it unlocked.
