Like everyone said, you really need a subframe, or what I would call a 4 pt mount, that spans to the rear axle and in most cases, connects to the front loader frame via a flange connection. This will handle the stress much better, but by the same token, abusive operation can and will take it's toll. I have an 850 that still has the mount, but the hoe is long gone since before I owned it. The top link pin boss on the rear end has a hairline crack at the base and the loader frame at the flange and near it was broke when I got it. I welded it up, ugly but is very strong with all the heavy things I have picked up with it. With a larger hoe like a Sherman power digger or later ford hoe, they are big and heavy, and that location is where the stress will cause fatigue or failure if someone is abusive.
The photos are of Dearborn mounts that would fit the 600. One could fabricate their own, the one on my 850 is. I thought of this arrangement, but know from having been a full time operator for 5 years, there is nothing like a dedicated tractor loader backhoe, I currently have a Ford 555, but have operated just about every brand and most models. Without being a braggart, back in the day I was a well regarded young backhoe operator. Having run a few 3 pt models, they are certainly better than a shovel, and definitely are very useful. They are just not anything more than a light duty backhoe, with limitations that dedicated machines do not have.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
