Those with a BX with backhoe, how often do you use it and or do you regret getting it. I have a little over an acre and ordering a BX 2680 as a 菟ower wheel barrow and at 76 with a back issue maybe I need a power shovel as well
Don稚 think I will slow down, I still fly and do the maint. On our community grass runway plus all sorts of chores for neighbors and our church. Remember growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional
The question you really need to ask is how often do YOU plan to use it.

The first option I chose was the backhoe. I leave the Backhoe off the tractor until I need it and then leave it on till I need one of my 3pt implements. It's pretty easy to take it on and off. I find I can maneuver the machine around quite a bit without getting off the seat while digging. Takes practice and patience.
Bonuses with the backhoe - it makes a great rear ballast and the outriggers make a perfect jack for lifting the rear tires off the ground if you need to add chains or ballast or spacers.
