1. which size do you run
The Mahindra MMM is 72" and manufactured by Artsway Mfg.

2. does it interfere with the use of the backhoe
I don't have a BH but I have asked that question before and have been told by several that their mountings do not interfere. I also hear that the BH sub-frame mounting has more clearance as it mounts along side rather than drop-down. There are some past posts here explaining this.

3. how easy is it to install and remove
I've only removed mine once and it wasn't near as hard as I had anticipated. I had prepared myself for driving over it (as the dealer did) or lifting the front wheels from overhead but on a slab , I was able to raise the frontend with the bucket and slide it out.

4. do you leave it on while doing other things like landscape
rake or box blading
I've used it most of the time with the MMM on. It does however, limit your ground clearance.

5. have you used a rfm how do they compare
Yes, and the ability to follow the front tires and cut closer makes the MMM far superior. Your not near as likely to swing that backside into something doing damage to a wall or whatever.

6. what does it cost.
Cost is a downside. I believe mine ran $2550 dealer mounted but I would compare that to a high quality, heavy duty rfm though as the Mahindra MMM is a real beast. Properly maintained, it should last for generations.

I use the mmm to maintain the family homeplace and others have remarked how much better the lawn looks after I've used the mmm over using the lawn tractor. I have to admit, I was surprised how much nicer it looked.
