Tractor backhoe - homemade

I don’t see pics

They show up fine on my ChromeBase computer

Finally made some progress... I've turned and assembled those kingpost brakes...







You probably wonder what took me so long...well I've been busy making other stuff...little hint:

 

[Rustyiron]

You have a way of making a guy who felt like a pretty good fabricator himself feel quite inadequate!
Now that pull behind grader is definitely going to require some more pictures and even a TBN thread (if you have the time)
Fantastic work as always
Edit; I see that there's actually 2 projects there. The safety decals make me ask.... did you build both?

 

[BFreaky]

Ofcourse, I constructed and build both, and many more different machines.

Pull behind grader blade is a 3 m width, 4 m total lenght and it can withstand a 200 HP tractor. It has 45° angle, 15° tilt, 20° main boom offset (1 m out to the side of the road) and it's controlled with 1 lever and 3 electro flow diverter valves.
Wheels have a parallel guide system so no matter the boom offset they are always in the center of the blade thus giving it maximum precision and prevent sinking due to material build up.

As for the scraper grader, it's my vision of how it should look like, it has hydraulic rippers, adjustable blades and rear blade...and it works great.
All this took me alot of time to design every single part of it so that's why my backhoe takes so long to build

So you have been keeping us in the dark the whole time. I myself would have been pretty interested in these other builds you do young man.

 

[Smokeydog]

Extraordinarily creative!

 

[Rustyiron]

Amazing work

 

[BFreaky]

Thanks, I've put alot of time into it

 

[LouNY]

Very good workmanship, nice job on it all.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Wow just wow dude!

Would love to see a video of the hydraulic action on both implements if you could hook it up. The scale of the tilt blade doesn't come across as 3m in the photo. I don't doubt you at all. It is massive.

Glad to see you are doing great work. Hope your wife is well too.

 

[Yankum42]

Thanks. Yes, I draw my parts alone and then buy material and go to a local workshop where they cut it with a CNC plasma cutter

I'm new to T-net. I cannot view your pictures. what do I need?

 

[ptsg]

Better than any commercial unit out there! Great work!

 

[BFreaky]

Link to my rear blade, first test, still had some air in hydraulic system

 

[Hoss710]

Any tilt capabilities?

 

[BFreaky]

Well this video shows all the functions; it's got 45° rotation, 15° tilt, 20° offset...both sides

 

[Rustyiron]

Thanks, I've put alot of time into it

....and it clearly shows!

Your projects remind my of my Canadian cousin who took part in the local tractor pull with a Massey Harris 44. He got his hands on a cracked cylinder head, put it under the mill at work and milled it untill the coolant channels became open. Then he took his good head and milled slightly less than the depth at which the coolant channels were through. This upped the compression from 1:4.5 to 1:11 so he had to run it on racing gasoline. The cast iron exhaust manifold was recreated in tubular steel and sheet metal, and aged by dropping it in salt so it looked original.

He and his friend won every competition in the neighbouring towns by a large margin, up to the point that locals didnt bother to partake if these two guys showed up with their stock looking but very hot 44...

Their tractor had just outgrown the class they were competing in...


....but nonetheless, please show us more, and tell us about your thought process: i always enjoy the work of fellow professionals

 

[KubotainNH]

Dang those are nice. Amazing work.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

nice! Love the parallel beams for the tailwheels.

Was wondering if you had thought to space the tail wheels wider apart? Of course, I'm not sure of why, just wondering.

 

[BFreaky]

Beams are actually tubes 200x100x8 mm. No, wheels are spaced this way so they always remain on firm and even ground directly behind the center of the blade. This way we get the best support and avoid jumping and running on to larger stones, debris etc. When you offset the main beam and angle the blade without parallel guidance system wheels would end up on the grass beside the road.
