[AT] Three Point Backhoe

[charlie hill]

Actually mine has outriggers on the hoe so the whole tractor becomes a 
counter weight.  I never had an issue with that once I got the hoe firmly 
connected
to the tractor.  Without the outriggers (mine are a good 4 to 5 feet behind 
the center line of the rear axle) there is on doubt I'd need lots of front 
end weight.

I believe I remember reading some negative comments about 3-pt units.
Something about the stress was too much for some tractors.
