Triple boom also gives you a greater working angle. With a teledipper, the dipper/boom hinge is limiting your work angle. Also, you can work with just boom lift and dipper cylinders, with an extended teledipper the ratio between dipper and boom is so off that you have to work with 3 functions at the same time.
I agree. Besides that, with this setting I will get alot more force on the second half of the boom and the dipper. When you extend the telescope there is an enormus loss of force at the end because of the length of the boom. This way if I need to lift something heavy I can put my first part straight up an use only second half of the boom with the dipper. I spent some time thinking about this and for me it has all the advantages over telescope...

Do you have contact at work to make a build this nice happen for less than a million dollars? How did the cost of the last build compare to a commercial built version? Sorry if I missed the answer. I haven’t read all 1000 post.

Ofcourse. This can't be done without her. Who's gonna weld it together?
Is she the reason those welds look so fantastic? I've been welding my whole life, and those are some nice welds.

You're missing out if you didn't at least follow the pictures. Amazing work.

I watched his last backhoe build. I just found this thread. I’ll try to look through it later. Edit I’m not as far behind as I thought. I followed his last build. This one is just getting started right?

4570man there was no commercial build backhoe of this size and properties to buy. At least not here. There are some backhoes built in Italy but these are toys compared to rk 525. They have half the reach and power...so I decided to build one myself and I will never regret that it's a great experience
