When I mentioned a trailer-hoe bouncing - I mentioned that because it takes away from digging power. Not just because it also shakes the operator. You need a machine that's well anchored to dig well. That's also why hoes on crawlers tend to work nicer then does on wheel-tractors.
With your OC4, you tap the backhoe into your main hydraulics and front pump. You add in a simple push-pull diverter valve. That's common and used OEM on some backhoes. That's what my Ford 4000 came with new. It's also what my International 3414 hoe has.
As to a hitch, the best is the Oliver 0C4 rear tool-bar if you had one. Most crawlers were available with rear-tool bars for holding various types of attachements - or weights. My OC46 has it. If your's doesn't, you'd have to fabricate something. Not three point. Just something held with maybe four pins. I've got many photos of the original OC46 tool bar, hoe, etc. if you want me to post them.
I wish you were closer, I'd sell you an extra setup I have that is a pefect size for the OC4. It's a Allis Chalmers hoe with brackets to fit a Deere 350 crawler-dozer. The machine shop that made the setup did a real nice job. Those brackets could be easily adapted to your OC4. I bought it years ago to stick on an HG or OC4, but now have no use for it.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
