Tractor backhoe - homemade

Homemade 10 minutes hydraulic pipe bender; does not look pretty but it works great.


So I made all those metal pipes...



...and started mounting flexible ones...

Playin' around with metal pipes...

Looking good! Hard lines really gives a nice touch on these projects.

Your work always look factory. Keep the pics coming.

So I started at the bucket cylinder, added auxilary command (for rotator, jaw bucket, misc), it will be controled through emv witha a push of a button...







After that came the tricky part, kingpost "hosing" where all those lines + rotation, kingpost brakes and electric lines come together...there's the real party . Will post in few days...

Finished connecting left hydraulic distributor valve, moving on to the right.
By the way I'm checking every function with compressed air so I get those hoses in the best configuration and not messed up

First boom, upper and lower hoses connected. Also, lift cylinder done. There I installed hydraulic block valve for safety. Even in case my hoses break, this keeps the cylinder in place and prevents any boom movement

Amazing craftsmanship! Enjoy your sharing of your build.

Excuse my ignorance but have trouble seeing the safety block valves. Could you show that in a little more detail?
