Here's a pic of my Long Model 1200 Hoe Master backhoe attached to my Ford 841 Powermaster.

Looks like that has some impressive dig depth. Do you have trouble getting the hoses caught on things?

Heres my JD 4300 with a JD 48 hoe;hoe had wrong mounts for my tractor so I had to come up with my own.After hearing all the negative things about John Deeres breaking in half with their mounts.I mounted my hoe to a woods subframe built for my tractor.Still have to mount the seat and its ready for dirt.

Backhoe that I made a few years ago on my MF135. Hope to make a subframe and fit it to my B3200 this summer and see how it operates on a tractor with a better hydraulic system.

This might be a good form to ask on. Going to look at a Cat 301.5 mini excavator does anyone have thoughts or experience with this machine? I was thinking of a back hoe for my John Deere but would loose the 3 pt and mower. Besides wife said "if it will make you happy" get one! So I need to move quick before she changes her mind.

CATERPILLAR 301.5 any good? - The British Construction Equipment Forum

Bradco 611 mounted on a NH TC 55 DA. Great combination. A little pricey though.

That picture under the carport looks like it has a a/c unit on the canopy.

It does!! Wish it was on the canopy sometimes!!
That is the Duck Camp. The old house is too bad to repair ($$$$), may try to salvage the wood as most is T&G hardwoods inside on the ceiling and floors with 1x6 heart pine on the walls int and ext!

Looks good...how are you getting fluid? tractor hydraulics or pto pump?

kneedeep · Apr 24, 2013

Thanks for the pic of your TLB, It helped to see the unit tricked out!

I went with the tractor power. Mahindra recomended it over the PTO pump. So far, it has been too wet to do any serious digging but I did a little picking around some brush and moving a old collapsed shed around in a pile. It seems to have enough power, but the real test is coming as soon as the field dries out enough to not get stuck.

Any one know much about chain swings on Ford backhoes? My backhoe seems to have developed a lot of extra play in in since its last use???

farmall 55a case · Jul 5, 2013

Any one gotten a new backhoe lately? Let's see them and some of your projects with them!

Here are some pics of my dads 3616 International I am fixing up...
Repaired a broken exhaust manifold, brazed a hydraulic line, bought a battery, steering wheel, tire, ETC...thus far...
The old thing runs really strong...
Dad had the heads redone years ago and the old hoe does not have a lot of hours on her since the head job...
She ain't pretty right now but I am power washing all the grease and old paint off...
I hope to paint her sometime this summer/fall...
These are really strong old hoes...
