Tractor backhoe - homemade

[BFreaky]

Thank you. Nope, nothing serious. Few little things did happen but nothing major. I do have some upgrades in mind but we will see

Yes, I married few weeks ago.
I'm fine, thank you. How are you?
Next project...new model of snow/dozer blade. Pieces are already cut

Hey! Congratulations! I've always teased you about that, and now, you finally jumped off of the high diving cliff.

I always recommend a new pair of knee pads and some knobby gloves for newly married men.

Kneepads are for asking permission or forgiveness. I won't say what cheap throw away knobby gloves are for.

What an amazing project and what quality, creativity and execution. How many hours do you suppose you have in the build? Did you make any mistakes along the way that you had to rip out and re-do? If you did it again are there any major changes you would make?

 

[BFreaky]

I don't really know how many hours but I do not regret spending time on this project. Only bigger mistake was the wrong lenght of hoses on the swing cylinders but I solved that. Just bought 4 longer hoses. It is hard to predict everything on such a big and complex machine.
There can always be some improvement. Maybe few details here and there...don't know. If I sell this one then I will build another for sure

Ok sooo....I have a question and need an honest answer. What do you guys think is the real value of this machine in case I would sell it?

 

[oldpilgrim]

i figure that i couldn't afford it at a buck per pound.

beautiful, beautiful job.
