That is a fine looking machine, wish I had one in my barn to play with.

I'm going to throw a high-res picture of the backhoe in here. Let me know if it slow people down too much. If it does, I'll compress the other pictures before putting them on.

Here's a picture of the rig the dealer did for me to be able to use the rear SVC to operate the backhoe without the expense of the power beyond kit. I'll have to let you know how it works out. If it doesn't I'm only out the cost of the wingnut.
All I do is move the lever into the open position and then slide the wingnut down and tighten it to hold the lever open.
The backhoe hoses are hooked up to the SCV thusly:

Last picture for today -- I had the dealer weld these hooks on the bucket.

What a really nice setup. You'll appreciate the turbo at altitude. Have fun and be careful. How are you going to sleep tonight with a new deere parked outside?

I think the short answer is, I'm not. My daughter just called from the gas station to say that she'd pumped more fuel than she had money for. I was tempted to drive the tractor down with the checkbook. A little chilly for that (and I don't want to hear from all you cab guys /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif).
Right now I'm trying to engineer a good way to transport the 50 gal. bucket we use to water the horses. I need to dump the water into the trough.

I'm working on it. Everybody on my block that doesn't have a car parked in front of their house got the snow cleaned out of their gutters tonight.
I'm hoping that tomorrow I can get it up the canyon and clear my road so I can get the truck up there. Should be fun times.
