Ok, so I’ve pretty much decided on and L3010, but I still have a fairly basic question. One of the (many) things I want a tractor for is to spare my back when digging various sizes of holes for planting trees as well as for digging trenches for laying wire, etc. Obviously, a backhoe could do this really well, but at great cost. A posthole digger would be less costly but lacks flexibility for different types of digging projects and probably wouldn’t work too well anyway in my rocky clay soil. It seems to me that with all the hydraulic power at my disposal either up front at the loader or in the back at the 3 point there ought to be some simple way of digging various size holes and trenches without buying a backhoe. There seems to be a key missing implement in the compact tractor arsenal, perhaps something akin to the new Bobcat digger attachment http://www.bobcat.com:80/products/att/pro_att_digger.html. Has anyone used this attachment? Alternatively, can a rear scoop dig holes and trenches? Or should I just consider strapping a shovel onto the front of my bucket? (only half kidding about the shovel!)
