Bob I am a union operator that also farms I have ran a lot of backhoes and have used them on the farm also they are a whole different machine than any farm tractor usually about 100 hp and 18,000 pounds but the loader is alot heavier built than any farm tractor once you have one you'll never want to be without it also the 4 wheel drive is a must on a farm also most mfgs offered oversized tires which is very nice in mud this is just my 2 cents. I realize you are talking about a used machine but the more options they have on them the more they are worth and oversize tires, enclosed cab, 4wheel drive, and extend a hoe would all be at the top of my list and not to start a color war but the John Deere (and I am a IH man) is by far the most stable on uneven ground (its wider and heavier than most others) Brian
