Tractor backhoe - homemade

Pretty cool system but it looks like a weak link to me. Can't imagine what a strong loader would do to it. Love the thread and your fab skills.

Well this is a strong loader, it can lift 1.5 tones and nothing broke yet...I'm using it every day

Doesn't look weak to me, the clamping setup of inner and outer tube looks quite beefy and well thought out. Simple yet effective.

Thanks for sharing your progress. Price of raw metal over here has tripled.

 

[BFreaky]

Yes, we have the same problem. If this goes on like this people will simply stop buying...

 

[BFreaky]

Here we go...assembly

Wonderful inspiration. Serious fabrication skills. Secret in keeping your shop so clean? Mine looks like tornado hit after the smallest of projects. Enjoying sharing your build.
Fortunately the price of scrap metal hasn’t risen as much as new metal. -1/3 source of material.

Definitely a work of art!

Well the secret is in the broom and shovel...it's a habbit, I clean my workshop once a week, just feels better not to step on some parts, cuttoff's and stuff.
Thanks, I hope it works as expected, it is a prototype but I'm confident it will do it's job well

Very nice.
