I got a 3-point backhoe with its own hydraulic pump via PTO shaft, BushHog brand. OK to dig dirt, gravel, some small rocks. Good for things like septic tank holes, drainfield trenches, water pipe ditches, footings for out buildings, and other trenches. Would not recommend for things like stumps/trees - - asking for big trouble.
Regarding the comment below about having to move the tractor so often. I can sit in the backhoe seat, reach behind me, raise the front bucket up a bit off the ground, raise the outriggers, use the hoe to push the tractor forward, reset the front bucket, reset the outriggers and keep digging, without having to get off the backhoe and on the tractor seat.
