Very common here in UK - they also do flail hedgecutters mounted on a similar setup. Not sure on prices - the hedgecutters seem to go for a lot more than backhoes over here because every farmer seems to have an old JCB or tracked digger these days. The McConnel backhoes were very popular 20 or so years back & are still made.
