Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Oldpath05]

Like most of the people here I find your work and skill level amazing. I don't know what is wrong with old grump trying to find fault with your project but commend you for the way you handle his snarky remarks.

Where is the fun of just buying something? It's much more fun and rewarding to built it yourself. Plus, it will be the first triple arm backhoe for a tractor ever made.

Oh i inderstand, ive done the same thing and get bitched at by the wife because i spent all this time and cuda just bought one. 3 arm is pretty wild. No bashin, was just curious more than anything.

It's a legit question though. The amount of stuff I've learned and experience obtained over time by doing projects like a backhoe or loader myself, is just priceless to me and the feeling it gives in the end, it's awesome.


That being said, I can't to see this beast of a backhoe that BF is building. This thing is awesome!

BFreaky, awesome job.
I'm guessing you have CAD plans and ideas in your head as you go to sleep...

Oddly enough I do often 'dream as I nod off.
More than a few times I've found solutions that way, problem often is to recall them next morning.
A few that I recall is learning to drive, barefoot water skiing, and many DIY projects.
Heck I practiced welding as I nodded off.

LOL, as I get older I have to stop the project dreams as they keep me awake. (and counting sheep does not work)

Visions of sugar plum welding rods, arcing through the night.

And I used to barefoot ski too....and I can barely still ride my unicycle.

I think a LOt of us are in that same (or similar) boat these days - don't remember where I saw this, but it's one of my favorite "sig line" goodies -

"The older I get, the faster I USETA wuz"

BF, I've seen your thread since the start but never read it (thinking it was silly to spend so much time building something I could buy used) - I was WRONG, I bet my old Case backhoe would crap its drawers trying to do what yours will be able to do... Steve

This is why I have pen and paper next to my desk. If something really good comes to mind I write it down and maybe draw a picture. This not only allows me to see it the next day but I can generally go to sleep with a clear mind.

BF, looking forward to those videos. Amazing skills, a natural I bet.
