we  had  one of the  3pt backhoes   many years ago--- it was fine..   and did 
its job well   it wasnt industrial strengh  but it worked   and still does 
for the guy we sold it to 25yrs ago..

the  3pt apparatus  was  built so  that  once hooked up in the  3rd arm it 
could not  lift or lower anymore
this  stopped any  possible  crushing between the tractor and  hoe,  BUT  you 
know safty gear--  DODO"s can pull them off.
ours was  a  LONG brand  and    like I said  it worked fine  and still does 
but it dont work everyday

we had it on  3020, 4020, 530, 630 JD's  and  on  135 and 285 masseys..   and 
  a  barrowed ( thank fully we didnt own it)  a  175 AC. 

the guy that has it now  has it on  MF 1100, 1130, and  1135masseys...   and 
he had it on a 2290 case..
