I have seen quite a few youtube videos and noticed that in Europe most if not all backhoes have a side shift boom with vertical stabilizers. Also many have the large front tires, 4 wheel steer, and forks that fold up over the bucket. It is very rare for me to see a backhoe with side shift boom here in the U.S. let alone, 4 wheel steer, big front tires, or folding forks. Other than the obvious, more maneuverability, what advantages do those euro style backhoes have? And why don't you see more in the U.S.? I feel they would be more useful than the American style.
