Probably OK for light digging in the summer. I rented a little hoe one winter 40 years ago during a hard freeze where the line froze and broke at 3 feet deep. That little hoe wouldn't make a dent in frozen clay.
Bot a 2606 with IH 3000 loader and Case CK 33 hoe. It will do the work. Can't wait to get it back together. The loader had heavy mounts that went back to the axle. Then the hoe had heavier mounts that tied into the axle and then underneath to tie into the loader frame further forward.
It has a solid mount. Assuming your 3 point will lift it, I'd be more worried about driving around on rough ground with all that weight moving around working on the top link mount. When digging with the stabilizer arms down then I would worry so much.
What you need to know is if your tractor has enough hydraulic gpm's to dig with those big cylinders. You can be running the swing, boom, and bucket cylinders all at the same time to do any efficient digging. Those little ones can dig around a stump but may not have the power to pull out a stump that doesn't have all the roots cut.
I'm rigging up a knife setup on mine with a couple cutter bars at a V to pull pipe instead of having to dig a 15" hole for water lines. If the kids are over you can always mount a basketball goal on the bucket and park it on the driveway to make it useful.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
