Tractor backhoe - homemade

[BFreaky]

I'm honored to have so many people following this thread...never really expected so much interest. Thanks for all the compliments.
Videos are comming asap...first I have to get someone to film it while working
As for the size...now when it's on the tractor you can make the real comparison. Tractor height is 2.8 meters so...picture shows it all

Mere words fail to express how impressed I am with your engineering, design, and fabrication skills. Congratulations, well done sir! That is a machine and a piece of art all in one!:thumbsup:

It looks better than factory made. Video would definitely be cool. Set something up on a tripod maybe. That first run must have given you a feeling of satisfaction. Nothing like creating a tool that works the way you want it to and look great too.

What an amazing project!! Do you have some more pics of it? would be nice :thumbsup:

 

[KubotainNH]

Too busy playing.

Freaking Amazing. It almost looks too big for the tractor.

Simply amazing!!! Been following this thread the whole time and I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with your abilities. Who builds their own backhoe? Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!

is it everything that you hoped it would be?
it looks incredible
looks like the ground would fear its presence

Yes, and more. It's really fast, maybe even to fast at least until I get used to the controls.
Well...the ground is really soaked right now. We had lots of rain last week; there are multiple flooded areas.
You can notice on the picture, my left stabilizer (right on the picture) went 20 cm into the ground just like that.
Later we placed a large board under it so it held position.
I was actually digging this pit in order to make way for the water because this heavy mud on the surface wont drink it
Underneath the mud (3 m (9ft)) there is a thick layer of gravel so it should work.

Kubota Tee - why not, it's obviously possible to do it - one man with only the basic tools in a small garage...but it takes a year when you have alot of other things to do

Its worth another look.

Okay, that was the prototype, now you need to set up a shop, start production, and get rich.

Congratulations on the most epic attachment build ever to grace TBN. I'm proud to have made the #2 post in the thread.

That backhoe is too big for his tractor!! If I were smart enough to build an implement like that, I would hope for the same compliment, lol.

This has been my favorite build thread since what's his name rebuilt the unimog!
Can't wait until you post video. Congrats Freaky.
There is a phone number here in Texas to call before you dig. The service is free I believe. They have all entities with underground stuff come out and mark it before you dig. If you abide by their markings, it mostly exempts you from liability.
Trust me, you don't want to hit a gas line or dig up a fiber optic main line.

BFreaky, that is beautiful! Well done sir!
