It won't replace the Hitachi but will be a little handier to use the next time the manure pump pit gives you issues. After seeing so many trashed loader buckets on tractors, this one is in nice shape. Super Dave has another toy!
Yeah they didn’t seem to abuse the loader on it too badly. Of course the little 2wd backhoe would have a hard time finding enough power and traction to do any real damage anyway lol
Yeah on backhoes the boom and stick controls are reversed compared to an excavator. Not sure why they do it that way but it makes it a little hard when your used to one setup. Most newer machines you can flip a switch and go back and forth between either control pattern.
Hi Mac, apart from a great video, the one thing I could never understand is that tractors, trucks and cars left by people in a bush or a field or backyard for many years to die that is still in good running order, at a point for the lucky item there came a rescuer by that see at buy it before it is totaled, this is a good example, body-wise it was on the point of now return, there can be good reasons but my little brain will never understand that, thanks for the video
The original owner was in his 80’s Jan, I think he just got sick and died. The backhoe was unused for 3 years before we bought it. Obviously that rust didn’t all happen in that time I guess he might not have had the ability or means to repair it. I’m not really sure.
If I had a cool $250,000 for a new machine I'd probably buy a new 4CX. I like the JCB's, but I think for now we will have to settle for old masseys lol
I hope you changed the hydraulic oil before you started running it...hydraulic issues are very frustrating ;)! After sitting outside, I bet it has a fair amount of moisture...
Luckily there wasn’t much in it to begin with so most of the oil is fresh anyway lol. We are changing the rest of the fluids and filters on it now then I’m not sure what the plan is.
She's a lovely digger and digs well for her age and still has plenty of power. Got to love English made machines
Yes a good strong little machine, wish we still had it.
Nice loader! Glad you saved it from the yard.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, super to see the old timer working
Thanks! It was good to get it out and try it. Now time to get it looking a bit better cosmetically 👍
That'll be a handy little backhoe.
Yeah its a cute little thing, come in handy, quicker to move around than the Hitachi.
Good morning Scott! Looks like the Backhoe is working pretty good. And appears you got some rain!
Yeah the rain came with that hurricane lol. It’s kind of too little too late but I guess it will keep the dust down for a few day’s.
Jumpins. Works pretty good Scott. Great weather we are having for playing, oops, I mean working. Hehe.
Yeah she runs and works great, just the body work let’s it down lol. Can only play so long then it’s time to work again, have to make the most of it.
Great little backhoe Massey Ferguson 30H
Yeah it sure is a neat little thing Cliff. Seems to work good now just needs a little fixing up on the cab.
Nice little backhoe we have a small ford backhoe on our farm they come in handy
Yeah it would be. We have the excavator but this is a lot faster to move around I’d think.
Wow , from sitting to working with out any issues! 👍🏻 well done beach farmers .
Thanks Scott!
Just found your channel,hello from Digby Nova Scotia
Hey Matt! Thanks for stopping by, hello from Cape Breton!

Hey Scott is that your guys challenger for sale on kijiji? If so man that’s a sharp looking tractor.
Yep that’s ours MT465D, she’s a good tractor. Thanks Dennis.
Definitely a keeper there Scott,👍 is the backhoe's control layout different than the track excavator? 🙂

Bit of paint round her good as new
Lol yep little bit of filler and a rattle can fix er right up
At least she works!
Yep she works! It’s gotta have something going for it can’t all be bad lol

She's working & I'd prefer a jcb any day but this massy does what he wants it do.checknout the new jcb range, they've gone like luxury machines.
If I had a cool $250,000 for a new machine I'd probably buy a new 4CX. I like the JCB's, but I think for now we will have to settle for old masseys lol
Looks and sound mechanically good but it could do with some on the bad bit's 😉😉🤔
Yeah man i think she’s beyond a little body filler and a rattle can LOL time for some serious rust repair.

Nothing wrong with the old gal!
Everything seems to work fine, she's just not a fancy new pos...
👍😎
No you’ll never see a video if this one down with computer issues lol
Now I know where you buried your money. Thank you for the video update eh.
Lol damn you figured it out. Haha. Thanks for watching Brent.
