Seriously, the two backhoes mount entirely differently. The woods backhoe appears to have a full subframe. The deere hoe mounts using rockshaft assist. The full frame probably should give sufficient strength. But the warranty you get is part of the feature set you receive. Use the hoe responsibly and you'll probably not have a problem. When there is a problem though and Deere voids the warranty, you'll have to look at yourself in the mirror. We all have free choice. As long as we understand that and accept the risk, then there is no problem.
