[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 127396, member: 13825"] just to be clear, My view on adds stress and wear and tear is not on the backhoe designs like this, (ones in your post) , these I feel add a LOT LESS than, say a stiff arm design, as the quick attach stays in one place when in use, as in using a full backhoe set up, over a stiff arm, where with a stiff arm design, you are pulling on it from all different angles at times, , which I think can add again stress to the arms and quick attach, some of these stiff arm and ones that like that can adjust side to side, have 13,000+ lbs of force they can generate, which again IMO is quite a bit , that I doubt the quick attach was really designed to be used with! limited use, I am sure is fine, but start getting aggressive and in very hard ground, or just a operator that doesn't care , and I do feel they again add a lot more wear and tear to things, and since they build , some of these stiff arm hoe's extra HD, they might out live the machine there attached too,, which in the math game, or way I see it! , to me , means/ The more costly piece , the skid steer could l damage first, which I'd rather not, and thus why UI didn't buy the most HD stiff arm hoe made, Id rather the hoe be weaker than my skid steer! just my 2 cents if I was using a hoe on a skid steer often, , and again , I fully agree, a full on set up is the better investment and will be easier on the skid steer [/QUOTE]
