three point backhoe

Posted by genep on September 11, 2004 at 18:31:42 from (208.148.209.30):

What is the probability of damaging a 3500# tractor by using a small/medium three point hitch backhoe on it? I've heard of tractors being broken in half by backhoes and don't want to ruin my 354 International with one. I have no loader or subframe to reinforce the tractor. I'm looking at one with a self contained hydraulics, the owner says it weighs about 1000 pounds. I tried it out on my tractor, but was nervous the whole time because of possible damage. Has anyone had positive or negative experience with a setup like this. Thanks for any insight
