I've got a Ford 755 backhoe (hence my nickname) and it is STRONG. I've pulled a lot of stuff with it. It came in real handy when I was rebuilding a dual axle trailer. Just picked it up with the bucket like a toy and flipped it to work on the underside. I've also used the arm several times to pick itself out of the mud. It weighs 19,000 # so it would certainly not get pulled into the ditch by the tractor or need anchoring other the pads being down. Unfortunately, the battery is out and I've got a couple of leaky hoses on the hoe that I need to replace, so I haven't used it lately. It would take a while to get the battery back in, fuel it up, check the fluids, air up the tires, get it started and moved to the creek so I'm hoping the tractor will already be out in less time using a p/u truck for assist. If things don't go easy I'll move to plan B, which is to bite the bullet, get the backhoe running and use it. If it was up and running, it'd be my first choice for sure.
