Tractor backhoe - homemade

[isaaccarlson]

I read the entire thread, and WOW! What a read. You did a very good job building your backhoe. The only thing I would change is the size. It seems a little bit big for the tractor.

Green Power - not as much as I would like to, but that's gonna change during the summer. Then I'll have alot more time for it.

Isaaccarlson, the size depended on the size of the cylinders, and I got them first, so everything else kinda grew around them .
There are a few places where it could be a bit lighter, but in general, I'm happy with it.

Bfreaky arent you overloading that trailer a bit ? It has only 5 stud wheels, and those axles with DIN 5 lug pattern generally run up to 2.5 ton, but you probably have double that on them... Or are these axles according to a former Soviet standard ?

That is one serious piece of equipment.Congratulations on an amazing job.Some of the best craftsmanship I have seen.It almost seems a shame to get it dirty and scratched.

My guess is he could make a floating trailer or flying tractor.

He just doesn't want to show off.

If (I did say if) he makes a mechanical error, it's potentially just to give the rest of us hope.
