Skid Loader Mount Backhoe Attachment

[mcd176]

Has anyone used one of the loader mount backhoe attachments on a tractor loader? for the price I was considering purchasing one or building one for small jobs, If I need a larger machine I can use a friends who owns an excavating business.

any input is appreciated

I have one that I use with my SS. Works good on a SS because it can spin quickly to put the dirt to the sides of the hole. Also, you have a very good view of what you are doing. This makes for really fast digging (small, quick swing). You would loose all of these advantages on a tractor, especially seeing what you are digging.

I built one for my miniskid, they work well for trenches but are limited when it comes to piling material too far from where you are digging. The one that I built has spent most of it's time used more as a pry bar in demolition than for excavating, it gives you more reach and height for pulling down bricks, eaves trough ect.....
