That looks like a factory item as well.....wish we had a build thread on that one too!!

Front loader was bought alot earlier. I only manufactured the bucket so I've got those pictures. If I would need a FL today I would simply make one myself

after the BH project I don't think the FEL would be much of a problem for you BFreaky
and I'm sure it would be heavier than what you bought

 

[BFreaky]

For sure

Maybe I missed it in 60 pages but what's the intended use of this beautiful backhoe? It would bother me--just a little--for the first couple hours until I got it dirty. Seems like it would pretty much dig anything you wanted to.

Well, it has an enormus field of use...but the first one is to dig around my property, to dig a basement, foundations for my house and surrounding buildings, to dig out some stumps, to dig the whole driveway...and as shown on those recent pictures to dig drain pits because we have lots of rains right now so floods are quite often.

Great job!!! I followed it from start, never chipped in on the comments, but always looked to see for new updated pics of your project. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your meticulous engineering and excellence in craftsmanship. Congratulations on a job well done!

Great job Bfreaky! that backhoe looks mean! And others said it looks too big for your tractor. Have you had any problems with the front end getting light?

At this point I'm using my front loader on another tractor so I had to put some weights on my front linkage to balance the tractor
