That's the trouble with the whole 3PH argument...what is "more than leisurely work"? I can work my BH for 1 hour and push it to the absolute limit for that whole hour. If it were a 3PH mount, I would destroy it by the end of that hour, I'm quite certain. Not to mention the safety element (of the BH popping up and possibly squishing you between it and the tractor...a real, documented fear when using a 3PH unit).
What's the alternative? Happy use for 400 hours but all you do is scrape the daisys off the ground and pick up, what? Balloons? A scoop of loose mulch? That's useless. A 3PH BH is a notch better than the junk backhoe toy-thing you hang off the reciever hitch of your pickup. Good for shuffling sand around but not much good for digging anything out of the ground...that is if you love, you know, life.
