Hi all,
I recently purchased a case 580K construction king for "hobby" work or around the property. (some buy boats, sports car, harley ect... backhoe is my choice) anyhow, I had to dig a trench to repair a well line, I guess some higher power thought i needed a job to do with my new (used) hoe. My question is, what do most people use to grade/fix the mess made after a backhoe churns up the soil. The area is wet. I am going to wait till summer to do anything. I am not sure the techniqes/ attachments used in this type of situation. The eqipment at my disposal is a case 580k hoe and a tn90f (orchard tractor 3-4 tons) with scraper blade. I am thinking a rake on the tn90f. The problem is, I burried the tn90f up to the "frame" last time I drove it into the location. The backhoe is so heavy that it destroys anything it drives on in my location, hence the new name Destruction King. Perhaps renting a smaller machine is in order? skid steer or cut with rake?
