Road Grader for JCB Backhoe

[GaryInWA]

Hi Folks,

Its been a while since I posted on this forum. Anyhow I own a fullsize JCB 1400B 4x4 backhoe I use around my property. Since filling in potholes by hand was getting old I decided to build a road grader attachment for it that made from scrap steel and the front axle of an old van /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I posted some pictures and info about the road grader attachment at road grader hope you like the info and pictures /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Very clever and a nice job also.

Very inventive and practical. Any possibility of action photos?

Cool! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I was trying to figure how to temporarily add small wheels directly to the sides of my bucket. That way I could grade or top off bumps without making "speed bumps". My loader is more of a snow scoop and there's not much way to skim or grade with it.

Alternatively, I was thinking of building a pull-behind grader. Something with a very long wheelbase and a center mounted blade just like a road grader. It wouldn't need much of a frame on need to be fancy.

Thanks for the ideas!

I will try and take some action shots tonight and add them to the website, the gravel road is due for some road grading I think /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
