Still need to weld it up solid, get it trimmed up and do a little reinforcing but we are off to a good start! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss part 2 Thanks for watching 🖖
I am considering purchasing this exact backhoe, but i'm just concerned about hauling it. I've transported mini excavators before, but this thing is beastly compared to them.
Yes this machine is a lot to haul! Loading can get pretty scary, I recommend backing it on cause it likes to ride wheelies with all that weight on the back. I loaded it on my 24' dovetail triple axle fifth wheel trailer. We got it all chained down but forgot a 4x4 wheel chock on the middle trailer axle. Somehow the trailer drove over the 4x4 snapping the springs on the middle axle. We ended up unloading and driving the backhoe home 20 miles. It was a long drive with hydraulic cylinders that settle lol. Good luck and be careful! And just remember, make sure you pick up all your wheel chocks before you drive off!

This is a great project and thanks for showing all the steps you have taken so far. It will be interesting to see how the hydraulics work out
We will see if the hydraulics work, in my mind it will but I've been know to be wrong before
Can't wait to see how it turns out
Looks good so far!
Looks good!!
