|  Back Hoe Bucket, Chain Hook and Scrapper
Another little project from this past season,
My BH has seen very little use in the past few years, in fact I was gonna start a thread about the "loneliest little Hoe in town"
But anyway I did have a couple of paying jobs for it this year.
Worked great but realized quickly why some guys were doing this mod, as I tore up a customers lawn pretty bad and made alot more work for myself, trying to back fill a long drainage trench dragging the teeth across the grass.
Made this out of some surplus plow blade about 36" long, really did the trick on some test runs. Put a chain hook on at the same time.
JB.

A friend of mine who does excavating for a living has a similar attachment that connects to the backhoe bucket on his large JCB. He called it a "footer plate". It worked really good to make the trench bottoms nice and flat in preparation for the concrete to be poured.

Thought someone might notice the green bike 
No that wasn't planned, I had my mountain bike before the tractor.

Looks good but is it removable?? I have been wanting to build a "tooth blade" for my b/h for a while. It might be a good idea for a winter project.

Yes there are 2 bolts on each side thru the angle iron. wanted to make it go on and off with no tools but couldn't come up with an easy way.

I just use my loader bucket for back filling. I thought that is what everyone did.

The job I was doing where this became an issue was a perfectly manicured lawn and I was trying to minimize damage, keeping the work area to a 6-8 foot strip instead of 20+ feet wide area I would have to restore. Also part of it was between the house and a fence.

You did a nice job, is that some sort of french drain?
Man what I would give to have soil like that, the evil gumbo down here in S.E. Texas is brutal to work with at times..
