YouTube - electric backhoe

[Ductape]

Interesting? Not sure what else I can say about that rig....... other than it wouldn't be quite as 'effective' here in NH soil.

J-J, Thanks for sharing.

Neat toy. No worry's about transporting across a lawn. Easy to transport as well.

The ultimate kids sand box toy!!

I wonder why the battery vs. a gas powered engine. I can't imagine the batteries and motor being much cheaper that a simple gas engine.

JJ terrific post!!!!!!! I watched the video twice. I really really like electric if for no other reason, no gas to go bad, no fumes and can use anywhere anytime. I purchased an electric log splitter for those very reasons. I love not having another motor to worry about gas going bad, or gas tank rusting, or mouse eating ignition components. I really like that I can store it anywhere, no gas.

That backhoe looked really really well built, even the bucket looked professionally done. I wonder who welded up?

Thanks again, goes to show you there are a number of ways to spin a hydraulic pump.

I wonder if they make a 110v adapter for it as well? Looks like just the thing for planting potatoes or rose bushes...
