I have an opportunity to pick up an Alamo SMC 65A 3 point backhoe and am wondering if my
790 will handle it and whether or not it will fit. The thing barely has the paint scratched off and its been covered and stored inside.

I'm not familiar with properly fitting/sizing a backhoe, or pricing/value. I was able to download the manual. and the PO has passed away and I am helping his wife clean out the huge storage shed. I don't have a ton of work planned for it but it would definitely come in handy once in a while.

Any info on fitment, value etc. would be most helpful. I do have pics if thats any help and I'll be going back up there tomorrow if there are any numbers or other items I should examine.

Can you mount it to your 4000? That would be a more stable base for it.
