Looking at a used 485a backhoe and if you have one, do you like it? Hows it getting off/on?

Should be a great tool/attachment.

What do you plan to mount it to ?

I have a 4520 with this backhoe and really like it. Does everything that I need from a piece of equipment this size and the mount/dismount isn't that bad.

I'm pretty sure that's what my father-in-law has on his 4520, and he has been using it monthly for at least a decade. Storm cleanup, debris removal, digging and trenching, and using it like a makeshift grapple. He loves that tractor, and that backhoe is just one great piece of it.
