Lou, I know nothing about the MF2200. I've had several MF 202 Workbulls and hated them. Everything about them was odd-ball with little parts sharing with the MF35 farm tractors.
If the MF2200 shares parts with similar farm tractors, it might be a good deal. If not ??
If the backhoe has a single round "drum" swing cylinder, I'd pass on it. Drum cylinders are weak, leak prone, and near impossible to fix. That's not just a MF thing. AC, Deere, etc. used them on a few hoes.
Whenever I have to seach for used hoes, the most common that I find in the "cheap" and "rugged" category, are usually Case 530CKs or 580CKs, IH 3434s, and Fords. Deere too, but Deere hoes tend to be pricey unless they are 1010s and 2010s.
How far are you from the Wisconsin/Michigan border? I ask because I have a hoe in storage in northern Michigan and I have no use for it. Just the hoe, not tractor. It came off a 900 Ford in Wisconsin. I was going to mount it on my Deere crawler - but then found a good deal on an IH 3414 loader-hoe.
