Hi Shippashaft, I love your Gravely 16-G with FEL & Backhoe. Could you post the model #, unit # or name of your backhoe. I want one and I have 20-G to put on. I know what you mean about some Gravely guys, they know all and if you are not in their little click,club,group or whatever they like to call it you don't know anything. I think they should take two big bits of the crap sandwich and wash it down with a quart of urine.
You tractor is very cool to me and I could use one on the farm for all kinds of things. Thanks for your time.

Hi the back hoe is a caddigger 508 I believe . It was originally a 3 point at some point and then someone cobbled it to a town be unit. It was very crude and unsafe when I got it . I then built a custom sub frame and along with redoing all welds and a custom oil tank and pump set up . Haven't worked it yet it's snowmobile season now so it will sit till spring and I will finish the seat swivel and try it out
