I have a farm tractor, it has a loader on it that will lift around two thousand pounds. It is a seventy seven ford and it will hopefully outlive me.
I tried to get a backhoe attachment for it but it didn't work out, but I have a back blade, a three point plow, a six and a half foot snowblower, a back bucket, a disk harrow, A post hole digger, a boom for lifting things that attaches to the bucket, and a couple of other things. I haven't used anything other than the loader and blower in many years now. but it is nice having the tractor. I use the snowblower every year, but also have a plowtruck with a seven and a half foot blade on it for plowing snow. My tractor is only a thirty two horse power at the PTO, but it seems to work ok for me.
That thing is cute, but I really do not have a use for something like that anymore, I can't justify buying it. It would be nice if my tractor had a heated cab on it so I will consider buying a new tractor in a few years because it is hard thawing out after blowing snow.
If you have a use for it, that is a great deal. It probably will do what you need to do, it may be slow, but it will get the job done. Getting a new toy like that is so much fun. I passed on a backhoe about twenty years ago for five grand, it was a John Deere and it had a lot of life left to it...it belonged to a friend of mine's dad who retired. I should have bought that, it had a heated cab.
