Tractor backhoe - homemade

[BFreaky]

Well, there are a few but mostly old models (580 etc). JCB and Terex are most common. There are at least 50 JCB 4cx in a 10 km radius.

Correct

Don't see any snow on the ground? Isn't it winter there right now? Sent from my iPhone 5s 64Gb using TractorByNet

It is but we had a few warm days so it just keeps raining and all the snow melted. We had about 40 cm of snow

Lucky! We have about 40"+ and counting still on the ground

Been following since the beginning. Truly an amazing build. From experience with my own backhoe, you might want to consider, if you have not already done so, putting guards over the stabilizer cylinders. I have nicked up the rods and broken several hoses from rocks and stumps rolling off the dirt pile. After the last incident I did put on guards to protect the hoses, but the rods are still exposed when extended.

That's amazing. A real masterpiece.

I agree on guards for the stabilizer cylinders. Maybe combined with footsteps to ease for the operator to enter the drivers seat.

 

[BFreaky]

That's a good idea, I will think about it and most probably come up with a guard assembly

Great job on the backhoe build. I agree on the outrigger guards. Ford had them on the older anchors in the 70's that was a telescopic deal th hat covered the ram and hoses on the stabilizers. Also had steps in them.

First digging
Few things need some attention, but the rest works great

Incredible build. My son and I have followed this from Day 1! That thing is a beast, even on a 100HP tractor it looks impressive!

I've also been following from the beginning. Congratulations on building one fine piece of equipment that will last a lifetime. I agree, A video would sure be nice.

That is simply an amazing piece of machinery and workmanship and far exceeds what almost anyone is capable of doing. What an accomplishment.
