Tractor backhoe - homemade

[Brad_Blazer]

Great video. There's something so cool about operating a backhoe. You get a little of the feeling of what it would be like to be a giant.

Thanks for the video. Looks like it runs very smooth. Great work.

Thanks for posting the video.I may have missed it but have you measured the reach of the backhoe from the pivot point?It would give me a better understanding of just how big the backhoe is.Once again,you have done a fantastic job.

If you had more money you could've bought a backhoe and avoid the whole shebang of building it altogether. Lol

You cant buy a commercial grade backhoe like this, unless you buy a construction loader tractor with it...

kcender, the reach is 5.25 meters

Just gotta ask- since you have all this free time now, you putting in a pool for you and the significant other? LOL!

Great video but I like to hear the unit run too. That thing looks like it would easily do a bucket twice that size.

How about some video clip time?

Nice video and great job!

The tractor works just fine without losing "breath" even when both pumps work simultaneusly. It works at 1100 rpm with a pto set at max 540 rpm (at 1800 rpm). I figured the music would make a better atmosphere

I liked the music. Maybe you could provide two versions?

Only if I change the size of the video...its size is 396 Mb...so it takes a while to upload it...

I was just kidding. I think the video is great.

You have plenty more uses to video and upload in whatever way you see fit.

I'm pretty sure everyone watching is already a fan.

:thumbsup:

I just watched the video again to see if I really did like the music.

I do.

The sounds of a diesel is music. ;-) Good stuff either way, thanks for posting.

Another reason to bring your talents to America, we have 100 mg/second available to the public in limited areas of Austin Texas now.
I think it costs about $100-150/month, but not sure about that.

This whole thing is impressive on so many levels. First, that you saw the need, then figured out what do, drafted it, had the nads to attempt it, the true grit to finish it and the skills to make it perfect. Even the paint is first class. The ability to download a video is icing on the cake. How is anyone skilled enough to do all this?

I'm thinking a TBN medal of honor and footprints in the concrete in front of the TBN restaurant. Well, if there was one.

Still getting used to the controls, so sorry for shaking and dumping some material alongside of the trailer...

No apology needed! You should see me run my hoe.....I think 90% of my bushing and pin wear comes from my jerking the boom around! I make an 80 yr. old drunk with detox tremors look rock steady. My son came out the other day while I was using mine and asked me if the hole I was digging was a grave to bury the backhoe I just destroyed! The movie "The Jerk" was originally supposed to be about me running equipment .....hey, I've got a million of them . Thank you for posting the video!!

What's the next project?

 

[BFreaky]

Sooo...here is the 2nd video. I left the original audio, just so you guys can hear the engine while the machine is working. A I said, there are no problems, tractor can handle it with no sweat

 

[KubotainNH]

Ah, I like the sound of the first 20 seconds. Is the tractor just above idle? Sorry about the music gripe, maybe it's because it's not my type of tunes. Thanks for the videos.
