Backhoe I made some attachments for GC 1710 backhoe

[Gofast]

No patterns. These attachments were not built that way. They all were cut out with hand tools one off’s. I have a harbor freight 12” disc sander to help shape it.
Since I bought surplus steel, I had to be creative on some of the designs.

You're great! I will see if I can find and follow you on YouTube!

I also want to make some of my own items but just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks for the complement. No YouTube channel.

I finally got to dig a little more than a test dig while with my DIY 16 bucket.
This thing holds a lot of dirt. It takes a little more finesse breaking through the surface we have hard red clay.
But then it did very well.

Unfortunately, a GC just isn't heavy enough to efficiently do some of the tasks we would like to have it do.

Now that my property is done, I only need my tractor to do the smaller jobs it was intended for. So, I'm happier to have small tractor taking up room in my shop.

Nice work on your attachments.

A 16" backhoe bucket is an OEM option for the CB65. I am not asking it to more than it was designed for.


I made a rock rake. I used it some this morning. Once I figured out you need to angle it and do more passes pushing the rocks to one side it worked really well.
This was my first time using a rock rake.

I made a 12" bucket for my backhoe.
This it for making backhoe attachments.
I have lots of options now. All scrap yard steel.

Want to sell me a 6" bucket? I need one for trenching BAAAAD!!

 

[Gofast]

Someone else wanted a 6 bucket. That is the only bucket I have not used more than a test dig.
I will be putting in gutter drains this summer.

I had fun making them but I put to much time in them to be able to sell them. I am sure you are joking anyway.

Here is a picture of them all together. The circled one is the OEM one I made the rest.
