I've got a small Ford hoe, 7' digging depth. Not 3 pt, a rigid undermount is better. They came both ways. Power is fine, but my compact's 5 gpm hydraulic pump is too small, makes the hoe slow. Real annoying to keep the engine at PTO speed and only get slow hoe speed.
When I bought mine slightly used, I didn't know any better. Should have spent a little more and bought a full-size TLB. If you're trenching in soft dirt, you'll do OK. Clay or tree roots are a problem. I've used mine for landscape, even then a little small.
I've kept mine, but wouldn't buy another. Takes me 15 minutes to attach if I didn't have anything on the back of the tractor. If your gpm is low, look into a PTO hydraulic pump, and compare that output to recommended gpm for the hoe.
If you were closer I'd offer you my hoe, and buy something larger. Most certainly beats a shovel.

Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance. In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
