In my backhoe quest, I seen that some have a 4 in 1 bucket. I've not tried one yet, but from what I have seen, this would be a very desirable thing to have for me.

I will be needing to do a fair amount of grading soil, levelling piles of gravel, removing stumps, picking up logs, etc. It looks like a 4 in 1 makes some of these tasks easier/possible. This willbe for personal, farm use only, btw.

Do you think I should hold out for a backhoe with this type of bucket? Obviously this will make my search for a decent, affordable machine even harder. If I find that great deal on a machine without 4 in 1, I'll probably have to go for it. Maybe one could be retrofitted (extra hydraulics, etc).

I'd like opinions on how useful a 4 in 1 is. Also, is this available on all the major brands?

In my area, there are few of the 4 way buckets. Very versatile- absolutely. But for heavy work, they are much more subject to damage- consider them to be fragile. For clearing woodland with a tracked loader with 4 way bucket, the thing would be destroyed quickly. Digging up stumps and pushing over trees is too much for it. Loading such on trucks is the job for the 4 way.

Like others have said, some like 'em, others don't. If you want to grade a driveway or pad smooth, a 6 way blade is best. For moving stuff around, brushing, picking up logs, pushing things around they are very versatile. Jack of all trades, master of none in my opinion. Really useful for me. Good luck

If you have ever used one you would not be without it,I would say essential.
