I am with you there too!

54 and broke left foot and ankle last July working on old sharecropper shack on farm when ladder kicked out. Just went back to work part-time couple of weeks ago. barely can get big ol foot in my waders now, hurts to push clutch too!

Barely can walk so I need good trails to my blinds for the mule.

Think I need a backhoe!!

PS- Hope the snow gets curl deep to a mallard but next year :drool: :thumbsup:

I've got a Mahindra/Bradco 509 with pto pump etc on my 3510. Its a beast, I'd rate it a 10+

I have a Mahindra 595 [ BradCo ] on the back of a 5035. It only has a 9.5' digging depth, but is plenty powerfull for stumps/holes around my property. The 11 GPM pump on the tractor works good enough, as co-ordinated as I am..

If I was going to worry about fast, or digging a basement... I'd use a big old John Deere excavator like we used to put my house in.

In a younger life I remember removing a big willow stump by hand. Dug a big hole where you were almost looking up at the stump, whack the roots with an axe, dig a ramp and drag it out with a pickup.... LOTs of fun....

You need at least 12 gal per minute hydraulic flow to hook up to remotes though

Not true at all, in fact, running my Kioti CK30 above about 2000 rpm makes the hoe to jerky for my liking, real fast, but jerky.

I have a Woods Groundbreaker BH-70x. I love it. It's subframe mounted and the subframe was one of two things that sold me on this bh over the Kioti bh. It is extremely well built 4 point mounting bracket that doesn't seem to reduce ground clearance. The other thing I liked was the factory thumb. Mine is manual, I believe you can now get hydraulic on the BH-80x.

Get a subframe mounted bh. They are incredibly strong and put a crazy amount of force into the tractor. My full set up, with loaded tires, cab and bh is about 6500# and it can pull it and move it around all day long. That's too much twisting and force for the 3pt.
