Winter Project

[Trackks9]

Been busy rebuilding a older small backhoe I had sitting in the corner of my shed.Having gone though the backhoe I decided to adopt it to use with the P.T. Except for painting, its pretty much done. Everything seems to work, Waiting for the frost to come out of the ground. Spring is slow in coming this year.

First, welcome to TBN! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I saw your other post about not getting the photo attached to this post. You do not need to start a whole new thread to make a comment about another post. Just hit reply to the original post, which means that you're replying to yourself. By doing it this way, it keeps everything related to the original post in the same thread, which is less confusing.

Looking forward to seeing your pics in this thread . /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW - I'll delete the other post. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A follow-up on my winter project thread. This photo shows the attachment plate and how it's hooked to the backhoe.

Nice job. How much does the backhoe weigh.

I am building a backhoe from a kit from cdp-backhoe, almost have it finished.

Yes looks like a very nice and extensive job. How much does the hole thing weigh and how well does the PT pick it up and move it around?

 

[Trackks9]

The backhoe weight is 500lbs

 

[Trackks9]

The PT picks it up okay, It should be curled up to bring the weight close to the machine, J

I noticed from your bio, that you have a Magnatrac. I have an older model Magnatrac, MT-1800 , transaxle, 16 hp .

I don't use it much since I bought the PT.
