Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Herkypilot]

I was just going to type what rScotty sent above...he beat me to it!

(just kidding of course - who knew there was so much involved in picking magnets.)

 

[BFreaky]

I used those magnets because they were lying around...so I figured they can only help. Filter and the magnets have an easy acess, so I intend to clean them up frequently.
Stabilizers and block valves are mounted. I poured the oil and did a first test...and.... IT'S ALIVE
Rotation works real smoothly, stabilizers also, other then a few tightings on the hoses I detected no problems so far.

Patience is a virtue . Nothing before saturday

Yeah, it is the patience factor that made it possible for this to be built in the first place.

no virtue here

I ran out of patience and virtue when I was a little boy.
I'm happy for you (and your significant other) that you are near the end of a monumental task. I'm trying to guess what size that would compare to on an American backhoe. Maybe a Deere 310 or bigger? It sure looks heavy duty. Do you know the weight?

 

[BFreaky]

weight = around 1100 kg or 2425 lbs.
boom reach = 18 ft
stabilizer pads at ground level = 11 ft

It is simply astounding that you built this.

Bfreaky;

Will the stabilizers have enough power to lift the tractor off the ground?

Looks awesome!
