chocolatehauler,

I have a 628 caddigger on my BX2200. I did not make it but bought it from Al's small backhoe building in Vermont http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=owning&Number=160501&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1 .

Good luck with your decision and hope everything works out for you. Do not hesitate to email me with any questions.

thanks for the info I will take a look at it. it would be alot cheaper if the tractor supplied the power thats for sure.

Here's where we are with the CADDigger 608 so far. Ready to hook up the hydraulics, but I need to order the parts to put the quick couplings on the back of the BX2200.

That looks real good!

Thanks. My brother has been doing all the welding. I just supplied the painting and the $$. Its great to have a handy brother with the time and knowledge. Can't wait to start digging something.

Ha! My effort was similar to yours. My son-in-law did 90% of the welding and 100% of the painting, while I supplied 100% of the financing.... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I built a model 728 before I even had a tractor. You would be suprised at the work you can get from this backhoe. Now that I have a Mahindra 4110 I wish that I had built the 708 model which is a convertible model that can be used as a stand alone or 3pt hitch. I built all of the parts myself and used new hydraulic cylinders, valves, motor and pump from surplus center. I had about $2000. in material when finished. I may modify it to a convertible someday. But it is real easy to use the fel and the backhoe at the same time. Like digging a stump with the hoe and pushing it into the fel. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Which model is on wheels, has hoses for attachment to the tractor's hydro supply, and hitches to the tractor, not three-point? So, no engine or pump, uses tractor.
