nuffield at work

I am new to the site (first post) I bought an old 1060 Nuffield. An ARPS back hoe attachment. My first endeavor into the world of hydraulics, trial and error. After realizing the internal PTO pump was too weak to run it, I put on a Prince 2A and a 15 gallon tank and a flow divider to run the back hoe and front end loader. Works very well. My first little project was a front walkway.

Next is to bury my garage power line (180 feet) and a weeping system to bury the spring thaw that runs through my back yard each year. Then a driveway.

Nice job.

Yes, nice job. As much as we try not to we still have to resort to the manual backhoe at times, huh?(shovel) How did that boy like it that you dug up and put rock in his sandbox?
Anyway, welcome to the site.

Nicely done. So when he gets board of tonka toys, he can play with the hoe in the sand.

That is my grandson Josh, we have full custody and have raised him as our own since birth. He is obsessed with driving. At 2 years 2 months old he has his own John Deere gator, which he can steer and shift, he cuts the lawn with me on our kubota T1750, helps drive the Nuffy, anything with wheels.
And that became his makeshift sandbox as a result of the project.
