Tractor backhoe - homemade

[sixdogs]

Did you build any of the sub frame or cylinder mount? I'm thinking of building a dump trailer on a beefed up hay wagon and just looking for ideas.

I built a tandem trailer also out of old hay wagon. Added a second axle and wheels, beefed up the subframe, made cylinder mounts and the box. It only tips backward but it's ok.

Like your other work, it looks great.

It's not this one, I'm talking about another trailer. This one next to rk is factory built

Hello Kyle, Merry Christmas! I'm fine, thank you. And you? How are things?
Well, because of "higher goals" (moving to our new house) rk found a new owner, but there is a rk 600 in cad development, so when I catch some time ($$$) there will be a new project

We are blessed thank you. Congrats on the new house! Hope it makes you two happy. I hope you got some shiny coins for the rk. Keep us posted on when you might start the new project.
Best wishes for the New Year.

There must be more details to this. Did you come out OK on the money side so you have enough to build another? What are the new owner's intentions with the backhoe? Is he a commercial operator or a farmer or? What changes or improvements will you make on the new one?

 

[BFreaky]

Well, I didn't get what he was really worth but without those coins we would not move to our new house so I agreed to less for a good goal. There will be some major improvements. Here are few: sideshift frame, dual nimco joysticks with electrical diverter valves (no more foot pedals), twin boom, jaw bucket to replace hydraulic thumb...etc
