Regret not getting a backhoe for my tractor

[sd455dan]

Kinda makes sense ... Since there name is based off the tiny SCUT "BX" ... But, they to go up to "L" size ... Not counting there Piranha Bar . . .

I tried using a much lighter duty bucket ( Harbor Freight) 12" bucket on my TLB and as some on here predicted it eventually peeled open like a sardine can. Made it about 200 feet and caught a Good sized Pine tree root.

But I was able to dig 500 feet of 3 foot deep trench with it once I did some repair, welder/reinforcement work to the bucket and is holding up well enough for trenching at the dirt cheap price of $200 if labor is free.

Any backhoe beats a shovel and different strokes for different folks. Any backhoe is better than none.
