I am thinking of buying a 3pt backhoe for my 55hp 4WD older model Kubota with a fel on it. I am used to running a bulldozer-mounted backhoe for my father years ago. I see all kinds of 3 pt backhoes out there, some with skid plates to bolt onto the frame and some without. It only makes sense to me that it is too much weight and stress to buy one that only connects to the 3 pt hitch but maybe I'm wrong. I presume the manufacturers are focussed on making it easy to take on and off and want to avoid the skidplates for that reason. I also wonder if these things are toys or can you really do anything with them. I'd like to do ditching, draining and burying stumps. One thing seems clear: that it is a market where you get what you pay for. Anybody have experience here? What to look for and what to avoid? I'm going by the seat of my pants here and would appreciate a bit of help. By the way, I don't need anybody telling me how much cheaper it really is to hire someone. I have my wife for that. I am trying to justify a new piece of machinery here, but even I don't want something if its really won't perform. Thanks

Flax provided the fibre which w
