Tractor backhoe - homemade

Well, there are a few but mostly old models (580 etc). JCB and Terex are most common. There are at least 50 JCB 4cx in a 10 km radius.

Don't see any snow on the ground? Isn't it winter there right now? Sent from my iPhone 5s 64Gb using TractorByNet

It is but we had a few warm days so it just keeps raining and all the snow melted. We had about 40 cm of snow

Lucky! We have about 40"+ and counting still on the ground

Pin in a furnace, ready for hardening and mounted dipperstick. Sorry about picture quality, it was dark...

Been following since the beginning. Truly an amazing build. From experience with my own backhoe, you might want to consider, if you have not already done so, putting guards over the stabilizer cylinders. I have nicked up the rods and broken several hoses from rocks and stumps rolling off the dirt pile. After the last incident I did put on guards to protect the hoses, but the rods are still exposed when extended.
