I bought one of these (5' model) 2 years ago and have had zero problems with it. I use it on my Ford 1100 which I believe is the smallest tractor in the world. I think I posted pics way back when, but darned if I know how to find them. I remember someone saying that if you pull up stumps you might break the tractor in half. Well, they make tools for stump removal and a tractor mounted backhoe is not one of them- nor is that the reason I purchased the thing to begin with. It digs great trenches 2-3 feet deep (50'-100' long) in this black clay soil and that is all I need. I am in the communications business and most times we're placing 2" PVC conduit for 100 pair copper or multi-mode fiber. Yes the shipping seemed to take forever, but they included an 8" bucket along with the 12" bucket ordered to compensate for the delay. I have about 90 hours on it to date and zero issues.
