just curious with all the different brands of towable type hoes out there, harbor freight/northern tool/cadplans/dr/ etc... has anyone modified one to make them more mobile... the crawling action does work but does make a mess on a finished yard.. and transforming to towing mode for a short move is a nuisance? anyone out there done it or know of one?

Are you talking about backhoes on wheels?

I've seen a 3pt backhoe permanently mounted on the rear of a powered truck chassis.

A simple change is to add another pair of wheels to make moving into position easier. Then fit the stabilizers to dig.

There are lots of HF backhoe mods on Youtube and internet.

I've seen plans for or pictures of small hoes with hydraulic motors on the wheels.
