Backhoe Project 34 Playing in the dirt

[mightypoo0]

Great build, I liked it so much I built one for myself, after watching you series several times, thanks for all the detail and the great music. Mine digs great and is a was a lot of fun to build even though it took a while to finish, a year give or take. When I needed a little insperation I would have a few beers and rewatch a few of your videos. Keep on building projects and rebuilding those lawn tractors and I will keep on watching.

but somewhere around 5500-6000.

they sell for 5800 in northern tool

[amesweb]

Awesome job all around. great project, great shop, great documentation. i wish I had the ability to mak estuff liek that. You even got me looking for used Cub tractors parts.

[500passwords]

@amesweb

thanks buddy , appreciate that :)

[MrBooojangles]

Great machine you have built there and to make it towable by a quad bike or mule like yours, must be the first one ever.

What size square tube/ box section for the stick (painted black) did you use? and what is the wall thickness of this square tube?

[500passwords]

thank buddy , the boom is 4x4x5/16

[yanmarman2007]

Once again great job. What can you tell me about the snapon 185 muscle mig,

good or bad

[500passwords]

thanks man , i have no experience with that one . but i do know you should ask where you can get replacement parts , like tips .

some cheap welders have odd size tips and stuff.

and you have to order them , which sucks .

but i bet snap on is ok .

[yanmarman2007]

great job, what was your final cost

[500passwords]

thanks , $2500 , but i already engine and some steel.

right now a cheaper looking version sells for 5900 in northern tool

[whitmer1993]

Now you gotta do the LOADER!!! That's what's happening to me... I can dig holes...but now to pick up the left over dirt?????? LOADER is the answer!

[500passwords]

dozer or loader , both . i dont know if im that good.

me and my buddy was talking about lil dozer,

but cant you dump dirt in dump trailer with backhoe

[hizpanicmale]

I tried it... it gets hectic after a while. Dozer or loader sounds better. Let's see what project is next. Keep up the GREAT WORK! I liked it.
