Tractor backhoe - homemade

[BFreaky]

Picture of rk 525 lifting 1.1 meter dia concrete pipes at any reach with no problem. I never really measured it's max lifting capacity because it lifted everything i tried to lift. I expect more from rk 600 because main lifting cylinder will be placed under the boom. This way I get 5 tons more dead lift capacity because cylinder is pushing, not pulling the boom

That’s definitely the stronger way to do it although keeping the machine in the ground is the weak link of my 310.

Grab full front loader bucket of soil to make better ballance...

Your workmanship is simply amazing.

 

[BFreaky]

Thanks. Not sure which part you mean?

All parts. Design, workmanship, attention to detail, fit and finish, paint. Those kinds of things.

Then I'm guessing that shallow well is about 12 feet (4 meters) deep. I've done a number of such wells for everything from drainage to irrigation to household use. They work especially well when you can intercept a gravel layer at depth. What is this one for?

It's a drainage pit and you guessed it's 4 meters deep. We had a problem with water collecting on the road during heavy rains so this solved the issue completely. I went to maximum depth with rk 525

I've done a number of those that work as irrigation wells in the dry season and as drainage wells during sudden water events. The trick is to get an open bottom into the water-bearing gravel layer. That way the same well can store water over a large area to draw on later.
