The few that do try to fumble-run them could/should have hired someone cheaper and way, way faster and would have done a better job. I have to admit though, whoever thought of building those hoes for the compact utility tractors has doubtfully ran one because hes sitting on a beach sipping on a cold beverage with a hott chick on his arm.

Just a couple rambles here:
Often wondered how well a 3pt backhoe would work on a utility tractor, say 45 hp range. Dad says they borrowed one back in the 60's/70s and it wasn't all that great. I seem to remember a Woods unit back in the late 80's early 90's with its own seat and outrigger arms--it looked promising.
Something that I have always wanted to run is one of those overgrown lawnmower-sized backhoes made by Terramite. Talked to a commercial contractor once and he said they were great in the right application. They sell for several thousand around here on CL. You can buy a rough running/leaking backhoe for a little more.
