Anyone ever made a small backhoe/mount for a Bobcat

[chuckinnc]

I have a old Arps backhoe setting around that could be put to use on the Bobcat. Im looking a one of the quick attach plates that Northern tool sells, seems I could mount the bucket and its boom on the plate for occasional use. I dont know how much force the Norther tool plate will take so Im asking for sugguestions before I start this project.

How about making your own mounting plate from 1/2'' steel?. I guy I know had one of those light weight tow-behind backhoes used for septic repairs, I thought, for just a minute or two, that would be easy to mount on my bobcat except, it was powered by a twin cylinder gas engine, never hold up under 2800 psi and 18 GPM.
