INcase. Most people may not realize that when you lift a 1000 pounds with loader, you are actually putting 2000 pounds on front wheels. It's like a first class lever and the front axle is the fulcrum.
Look at how strong the front axle is, how high it loader can lift, how much it can lift and how fast.
One really needs to know what you plan to do with it. So you need something small to get inside a horse barn, or do you want something big to dig out a 5 ft stump?
Before I would buy any backhoe I would want to see what it can do. I definately wouldn't want a clutch when using the front loader. I definately wouldn't want to get on and off tractor seat to climb on the hoe seat.
Many people have the mind set they need one tractor to do everything. Reminds me of the Shop Smith. One tool to do everything, what an expensive joke.
I would definately hate to remove hoe so I could attach a mower.
Add on loaders and hoes aren't the same as a factory built backhoe. I've seen tractors damaged with both loaders and 3 pt hoes.
I have a Jubilee with a 6 ft finish mower. I have plenty of power, only in the 30 hp range. I really don't see why you need more hp for a 5 ft mower.
I really can't give you any advice on new tractors. My ford is 1953. Farmall is 1950. I wouldn't trade them for a new tractor. My backhoe is a 2004 terramite, T5C and I'll never be without one. It looks like a toy, but it fits my needs perfectly. I have an itch to buy a second Terramite, so I don't have to trailer the one I have to my other property.
All my tractors are gassers, easy to work on, easy to start in sub zero temps, when I need them the most to push snow.
Just something to think about. You don't buy a car without a test drive. Ask the dealer for a test drive before you buy. George

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
