Don't you still have to take that on and off to put on the backhoe?

Depends on how the models fit your application and how seriously you are going to use them. For serious, important, use it all the time stuff, the dealer, service, and parts availability is one of the more important criteria. We have a little bit of everything here on the ranch. If I were doing it all over again, I'd get Cat on everything I could. If I call for a part before 5pm, most times it is waiting for me in the Cat dropbox at the local fuel dealer by 5am the next morning. If you use stuff much, you will need parts and service and being able to get it quickly really counts...
