Tractor backhoe - homemade

BFreaky · Oct 16, 2020

Oldpath, I will take a picture as soon as possible. It lifts everything I tried, and I tested it with 1.5 tones.
Anyway, after a long while I'm back on the backhoe project. Pins and bushings and boom alignments

Gee thats strange just the other day I was thinking about your FEL and backhoe build, wondering did I miss the conclusion, 1.5 ton or 2500lbs, thats quite a lot. Everyone here enjoys your build project thanks for posting when you can:thumbsup:

Yeah, well I was quite bussy doing other things, so BH was put a side, but now I will push it till it's done.

Gotta love these plasma cutters, I cut this bevel in no time. It would take like 10 minutes with grinder...

That is a great plasma cut but good grieving gravy it should be for 6k............

It's not Hypertherm, this is WTL Cut 100 CNC, cuts 45 mm thick steel, torch is the same as Hypertherm.

Especially since the fridge has be acting up lately and has been to small for the past ten years...

45mm steel.............:confused2: Glad I have this site in my saved section now I can understand you across the pond folks.... Convert mm, cm to fraction or decimal inches (in = mm = cm)
What you didn't think I'd look up the tools your using, I always do just to know whos doing what with what and how, its a form OCD........

Impressive 45mm=1-3/4 and its cheaper then the Hyper by more then half so theres still some left over for a new fridge so to avoid a frypan over the head.......

My son bought a Eastwood, figure since he makes some good movies the plasma might be good, well IMO it's ok-ish............
