Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Green Power]

Great video Bfreaky! I am sure i missed it (as i only skimmed through the thread up until the last 15 pages), but what is the hydraulic hose on the side of the stick going to be used for?

The good soil condition makes for easy digging.

 

[BFreaky]

Green power - for wood clamps or tilting bucket etc

What are you digging for, gold ? or a basement for your house ?

 

[BFreaky]

I'm digging the soft layer of dirt in order to replace it with some gravel and compact it. After that we'll build a house on it

Is that techno dance music still in style over there? I think the fad ended here about 10 years ago except for a few hardcore peeps.
Love the video.

The music makes me think of the Russian techno Viking. Kinda cool I think. He is a bad ***.

I was thinking the techno beat helped you keep in step with the backhoe moves.

Adjust engine rpm to speed/lower pump flow to keep in the beat.

Piece of cake.

edit--In fact, this post was a dupe (grrrr), so I followed my own instructions and it's now gone.

What do the locals think of your project? Are they as impressed as everyone here?
Surely this is the best backhoe for miles around?

They can't believe this kind of machine can be made at home in a 4x6 meter garage . There are many JCB-s around, but there's nothing like this

Absolutely amaizing design. What amazes me most that it works right on first try. I read prototype on the boom. Does it meant that you will start making them?

Amazing Freaky! I can only imagine the feeling it must give to operate it after building from scratch like that. My hat's off to you for doing something only a very small few could pull off. Did you by chance keep track of how many hours it took to build?

 

[BFreaky]

Well...this will be the only one for now...only if someone offers a good price for it.
22rimfire, no...I just kept working till it was done...
