Hi guys i see you found a pic of my backhoe
This is a factory made backhoe
I havent been able to find any information on these as they seem to be a rarity in the world, but i've seen another 2 of them here in Australia over the years.

Since you own one of these, would you be willing to post some photos that will enable us to decode the geometry it uses?
That would be really helpful.
It's amazing how many Front End Loaders were and still are produced with junk geometry. Many tip load rearward while they are lifting, which stupid geometry has killed many operators as rocks and stumps and heavy debris tumbles unexpectedly out of the bucket onto the operator.

Even more amazing has been the response. Instead of correcting the junk geometry with a parallelogram bucket-controlling linkage, which has been in use for at least 70 years now, they have added heavy-duty overhead crash protection covers to protect the drivers. Just amazing. I wonder if these people hit their foreheads when trying to eat an ice cream cone!
