Bob, i've got a JD 165 3 pt. I use on an IH 574, about 50 h.p. I've never wrecked the tractor using it [weighs around 1500 lb] You want some front end weight, for sure. Short of a commercial unit [backhoe-loader] I don't think you can beat these things. I don't mean digging out 2' dia tree stumps of course, but ditch work down to 5 or 6 ft., rocks 2-3 ft dia. if you "play" with 'em. I wish I had mine years ago, the pick & shovel weren't kind to my back.
