Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Xfaxman]

Good picture of the self leveling linkage on the loader arms :thumbsup::

Well, I will not build my own tractor, I'm happy with this one.
Yup, here you can see the whole geometry. FL is almost done, I hope to paint it in a few days...

Almost seems like your FEL is closer to the front tires then most tractors with FEL, good for digging but will loose in reach.

 

[BFreaky]

You're right it's 25 cm closer then the previous one and also 12 cm lower main pivot point. This way I get lower center of gravity and better control of the bucket

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

 

[BFreaky]

Finally I found the time to clean up the loader and paint it...so here it is in primer.

Good to see you have it nearly done. Looks heavy duty.

How have you been doing? Has the virus been horrible over there?

 

[BFreaky]

Arm profiles are high but not very thick, only 6 mm so it's not really heavy but has to withstand all the loads with no sweat.
I'm fine...too much other work, no time to relax...so my personal projects always have to wait...
Today they say we have 100 new positive patients, that's nation wide. We almost have no feeling it exists...when you go to a store etc, you gotta disinfect hands, few older people wear masks and that's it...

Painting is done, now I have to wait 2 days till it's dry enough for assembly

 

[Oldpath05]

Bet the front part was hard to paint near the floor.

What color are you going to use to paint to highlight its name if any? The tractor color might be an option? You do awesome work.

Oldpath, there was no unreachable spot, that's why he's hanging on a crane

It will have a name of my "one man company" and it will be red acc to RAL chart 3000

Final assembly...

Final assembly...

Looks real nice. Be nice to see a video of the hydraulics working with bucket.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Looks great. A lot of hard work and money went into that.

Looking good, that quick attachment mount seems to look different than most I've seen.

 

[BFreaky]

When it's done there will be videos. Which mount? You mean tractor console?

 

[Oldpath05]

Your front loader mount seems different to me then this one that' I'm familiar with, maybe I'm missing something as usual. Demonstrating a Kubota quick attach loader - YouTube

From your YouTube video, frame with quick attach :

BFreaky's is the same style frame, there is no quick attach on it:
