Komatsu Skid Steer Backhoe

[Rgillard]

Hi All,

Amid the other 10 projects floating about in my head I seen this on a local buy and sell site here in Ireland. I am just wondering would it be suitable in size to build a backhoe for a skid steer or is it too big? And what do you think of the price? 900 euro is about 1200 dollars? I mailed the owner and he said the engine aint running but the rams and buckets are in good condition. I would only need the arm and hopefully the valve chest...Rest would prob be scrapped....

Thanks,
Ronan

Just to clarify that the pic of the skid steer is just to show what I want to build just incase it confuses anyone..

Thanks some zilch,

I was thinking that the buckets alone would be probably worth that. To build a backhoe arm and buy rams would cost a lot more than 900. If the pins are in good condition it would be a good bonus.
