You might consider the Toolcat. I have a TC 5610 with the rear 3 pt and pto. Can run lots of rear attachments or front skid steer attachments. It is narrow and less tall than the JD 110. Will turn tighter and less turf damage than the 110. However, it is not designed for a back hoe and the rear pto is not as powerful. It will have the hydraulic flow to run almost any skid steer attachment and the 110 won't do that. Can carry 2 people easily. Visibilty out front is much better for loader work. Rent a trencher for the front and it will out do the 110 with backhoe for trenching.
I have a finish mower, grapple, tooth bucket, snow plow, tiller, pallet forks, trencher, PHD, manlift and sweeper for the front of the TC. On the rear it can handle my seeder, brush mower, blade, box blade, and snow blower.
The TC rides really well at road speeds and much smoother than a CUT.
I do have a Bradco skid steer backhoe. For limited use, I would not have issues with using it on the TC but it will not mount rigidly like a skid steer hoe and would have to use care.
