Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Bison]

Nice Job Freaky.:thumbsup:
You can be proud of yourself.

I been following this tread off and on.
I am no stranger in building things, done build quite a few projects in my life time, but never one as elaborete yet as an entire back hoe.


I do hope that that Belarus stands up to it in the long run.
I have a 925 but the rear end casting is like butter, i would not dare bolting something like that hoe to it and be confident it would hold.

The frame is connected to the front of the tractor, so it should hold...hopefully . We bought the 820 brand new 10 years ago and had no problems with it so far...
Here are some fresh pictures

Thanks . There will be more..... as soon as I catch some free time

Congratulations. Truly an epic attachment & thread. I'm curious if any of this metal fab and design prototype work connects up with whatever you do in your "day job"? Or is it a completely separate hobby?

I've a reason for asking, because I once found myself with so many hobbies that it became difficult to select which one to use as a bill-paying/cash producing job....& I wondered if you were headed in that same direction......

My day job is maintenance of electronic equipment at a factory. It has little or no connection to this but...this is what I really like to do and would love to do as a primary job...perhaps some day when I have enough $ to start my own buisness

well you definitely have the talent :thumbsup:

Freaky, that will hardly happened into poor country. Nobody will make him rich from own work. I wish that you will...
Then when you'll have you own bussiness, you'll stick to finances, managing etc., and will no be time for your love: construction and manufacturing. That will do somebody who will do it for money without love and passion you have now.
Make one photo from side, to show size of whole tractor and "hand" in real ratio.
Btw, congrats! Well done

well save the money for a plane ticket. That fabrication skill level would pay good here.
