I own a New Holland T1110 28 hp tractor and am debating whether to buy a backhoe att or a towable backhoe. The job is mainly ditching, but i would be looking at a thumb for lifting. Any thoughts on which one is better?

Now that I have some experience I realize it would be impossible to back a towable hoe into nearly every place where I need it. In this picture it had rained for days. Then my tenant's sink drain backed up. It would have been impossible to get that HF rig in where I needed it; any tow vehicle short of a tractor would sink to the axles.
And thinking about it, trying to back the HF hoe along an open trench any time to backfill it would be a nightmare, especially on poor traction like in this picture.
When working in muck, I thought the towable unit would need a tow vehicle attached to anchor it so it wouldn't slide all around.
I can see walking it into position using the boom, but I didn't expect the pads would resist moving it while digging.
...from what I am reading here, a 3pt seems to be the way to go. Has anyone had problems with the sub frame and mounting their normal attachments on the rear PTO?
