After due consideration, we purchased an MF 1726 a couple months ago (thanks for your input on my past threads). My dealer will be delivering the appropriate Woodmaxx backhoe next week, the one he suggested for this tractor. This is a three-point BH, and in reading the manual is says this is a no-no. ?? I understand that a frame-mounted BH is the way to go, but it seems to be a bit late for that. We will be working in sandy soils, without any large rocks, digging trenches for water and power lines and maybe burying a couple of 1700 gallon water tanks. Also some drainage ditches along our dirt driveway. I am now concerned about the three-point system BH... how leery should I be in using the BH for the above tasks? Just take it easy and don't stress the machine?
