Everybody is different, that's what makes us all so interesting, without interesting people life would not be the same, we can all disagree from time to time and still like to have conversations, We for the most part all enjoy busting your chops, thanks for being here and please do be careful, that old hoe is heavy and very powerful, I had an old John Deere 410 (Don't tell Roger) once and it had power enough to break itself if you weren't careful with it

I have the  whole  tlb  with that  hoe   ,  a  580 CK it's a  heavy  hoe  ,sturdy and strong  but heavy . I agree  prolly  too heavy  for a skidsteer  and you gonna need a  wack of weight on the front of a farm tractor

I think this one is a 530, not a 580.  Not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm hoping to get a Case 85xt or 95xt (#3150 capacity).  Hopefully either of those should have the weight capacity for it.

I pretty sure 530 was the farm tractor  580 was industrial

If the case hoe is built anything like our John Deere hoe, it's gonna take one hell of a skid steer to handle it.

Should look like this, only with a permanent mount:

Makes me wonder how many more people they had on the back of the skid steer to move it. I've seen pictures on Facebook of the neighbor with both his help on the back of the skid steer so he could handle a 2000lb pallet of seed.

That's a small skid steer.  The 95xt can go up to 3600 with counterweights.

But...is that 3600 lbs right at the quick tach bracket or 3600 lbs X number of feet away from the quick tach bracket?

Reach out 10 feet with that hoe and swing it, I think you might be surprised, Note to self, don't do it on a hillside and you might want a seatbelt though I don't like them in my truck!

Not to derail the thread or anything, but on our last trip to England last year, a silly chicky pulled out in front of us. The wife's cousin had just picked us up from the airport after we came back from 3 days and 2 nights in Scotland. We all had our seat belts on, the front air bags went off, the wife was in back with no airbag but a seat belt, we all walked away from it, completely totaled her cousins Audi A4. The people in the other vehicle had no seat belts on, the two in back were both in the hospital for almost a week, the chick driving didn't have a seatbelt on either, got thrown from their car and slid down the road a bit on her face, she was in the hospital a wee bit longer. I'm a firm believer in seat belts since, I hate em still, but I wear em.

You are over thinking the problem.  The skid steer only need cover the weight of the hoe at the bucket attachment.

It would be no different than doing it on a utility tractor chassis. 

Not wearing your seatbelts is foolish.

I spent nearly 20 years as a volunteer EMT in our local EMS.  We handle many vehicle crashes and the amount of work one has to do to help someone who wears a seatbelt vs the one who doesn't is staggering.  The injury we saw most often without the seatbelt is rib and/or sternum fractures.  Upper abdominal injury is a real concern too.  Having said that; if a person elects not to wear a seatbelt, that should be his/her decision.  The government should stay out of it.  Same with helmet use.  I ride motorcycles and I wouldn't dream of riding without my helmet on my head (my co-worker calls it a brain bucket).  However, it should be a personal decision if the person wants their brains to become one with the pavement.  Okay,  my rant is over.  I feel better now.  Have a great day!  Roger

Roger,      You said it right " government should stay out of it". But they are not going to.
