We had a customer a few years back that had one mounted on his tractor. The way it attached though I'm not sure wether you'd call it drawbar mounted or frame mounted. It had brackets mounted directly to the frame where a drawbar would go, and you'd put the bottom of the attachment in them and then had two dropdown arms with tie bolts that pulled it in tight at the top. It was really easy to hook up and remove, but when it was tied down, it didn't move a bit. I know he used it for years, on a daily basis, in his sprinkler business digging pipe trenches, and when he semi retired used it for a few more part time. The old machine was tough because I know it caught He--, I've even seen him load it on a flat bed using loader and hoe booms...scary to watch knowing how it was attached... and it never even attempted to loosen or come off. Like I said I don't know what type mount you'd consider this, but if I had a choice of types other than a factory built hoe, I'd choose a mount like this.
