When you say the rear housing do you mean the top link when the hoe connected? The after market hoes tend to do that. Better to have a bolt on hoe instead of a 3 pt hoe.
As for the loader, read Fatjay post above. Not sure if the 600 has power steering, but adding weight to the front bucket adds more weight to the front axle, which isn't really that strong. It is hard to turn too. It also removes weight to the back wheels. However with a backhoe on the back that may not be an issue.
As a kid growing up on a dairy, we had the old add on pipe loader, no power steering. Been there, done that and never want to return to the old days. I would also insist on power steering.
Some add on hoes, you have to get off the tractor seat, sometimes get off the tractor, walk around the back and climb up the hoe to get on the hoe seat's. Repeat the process every time you have to move forward. That would be no fun digging a trench. I like to pull a lever and spin around in the seat when I use my hoe.
When I was looking for a hoe, I considered Ford with add on. Owner warned me I couldn't afford the gas to run it, because you had to get the rpm's up to make the pump work.

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
