Yea I am. If you catch the corner of a box or rear blade, you put insane stress on the rear of the tractor... I'd venture way more than a subframe mounted backhoe. I'd bet we see 10x as many damaged tractors from 3pt implements than we do modern backhoes. The Woods hoe will do just fine, as I said... this is more about positioning a product in the market place than it is about what it really can do. If its true that this machine can't support a backhoe than its one pathetic piece of equipment. I don't think there is another tractor on the market that can't run a hoe.
