Thanks for the video! Like folks below I've seen too many of these units working in the pristine clay, and rock-free loam of the southern states. Much 'closer' to what I'm working with. Cheers!!!
No Problem. I Iive in Newfoundland. They call it the rock for a reason. Mostly hard digging here with tons of rocks. When I was looking at one I had the same concerns. It has been a great machine for here on the property. Lots of strength for its size. I am very happy with it. keep in mind its not a commercial machine, and it is somewhat slow. But its much better than a pick and shovel!
Thanks for putting this up. I've been looking at these for a while and always wondered if these are serious rigs or not. Apparently they are serious indeed.
I used it a lot last summer. I am pretty impressed with it for the price. Of course it is not a full sized backhoe, but it seems to be a really good capable machine.
Thanks for putting this video up ,I am considering buying one of these and finally found a video of a Newfoundlander operating in our rocky soil.If they work here they can work anywhere. Also hoping these will pull up stumps.
I am seriously interested in purchasing this excavator and I am wondering if you have any other concerns since you created this video? I am in the CBN area
For me the backhoe has worked great. I have dug up some pretty big rocks, I would say about 400 lb range. For around the garden it is awesome. Of course it is not an escavator or full size backhoe.

Its a good machine for doing small jobs around the house. You will have to dig around stumps to get them out depending on how big they are.
I got one had to weld the full tube up again cracked off on the 4x4 tube and two new bucket horses and oil filter
Wow, thats not good. No trouble with mine yet. I will be careful though.

@@bighillforge excellent... Thanks for sharing
21 subs... yea we know you didn't get it free. lol Cool video, good luck.
Thanks for the view
How high can you lift with out to much of the soil falling out of the bucket ?
I will check and get back to you
That would be nice of you. 👍
I measured it’s about 50 inches or so.
@@bighillforge thank you. Now i know it's no good for my 3/4 ton dump truck. But still good for my 1/4 ton. 👍
Fill tube
Hoses
I have not had any trouble with the hoses but thanks for the heads up. I will monitor them.
