[QUOTE="crashagn, post: 1696534, member: 9463"] We have a IH 656 utility hydro. Got it for around $6000. All new tires except. Ive since bought a new 1 since having it repaired 2 times. It has a freeman loader on it. 7.9 acres and its done a ton of work. Bought a 16ft spring tooth cultivator and cut it down to 12ft to make it through the gates and easier to handle in the garden. Also got a post hole digger. Built a weight box for the back. Used a couple of 2 point quick hitch arms. I cant tell you how easy it is to hook up. Just back up to it and lift, or unhook just undo the releases and lower it and pull forward. I wouldnt dare put a 3 point backhoe on it. To much wear and i know it would break something. Now i have seen them 3 point hoes but also with a under carraige iron that goes under the whole tractor for strength, but for the cost of it, we will just go rent a mini excavator and save the costs on repairs on the good ole hydro.
