Other folks are correct with the potential issues they have noted. Definitely invest some effort in research before you do anything that could cause you big problems.
As for backhoes, a "real" backhoe, as in built specifically as a backhoe not an attachment added to a general purpose tractor is absolutely indispensible on a homestead property. They have vastly more power, stability and speed than any add on setup and they will be your forklift and crane, pull your other stuff out of the mud / ditch, build and maintain your roads and even occasionally dig and load dirt too.
