    Hand held hydraulic hammer circuit

    I'm just starting to install the rear hammer lines down to the end of my dipperstick. Looks like a slam dunk easy job and I'll be able to run a big demo hammer. Next, I'd like to look into installing a hydraulic circuit on the side of my machine to run a hydraulic hammer. The wiring is in...

    Manual quick coupler

    Any suggested brands? New Holland was $1,900 from the NH stealer. :rolleyes: Getting prices on Miller & Geith.

    Finishing off hydraulics to end of BH boom

    I am considering finishing off the hydraulic lines down the second 1/2 of my dipperstick and had questions: 1: Should I use NH parts, or is this a generic hose I should make myself at a hydraulic shop? 2: From pictures I see of other units, there is a simple loop of hose added and a line...

    Suggestions for backhoe quick attach

    I like to switch backhoe buckets often. I have an '00 LB-115 series New Holland with 2 pin manual attach. I can't afford a hydraulic coupler. Talk to me about other "manual" quick connect options to make my life easier. For some odd reason, I can no longer upload pictures, best i can...

    NH Aux hydraulics-What exactly do I have?

    Hey guys, my new (used) LB115 has a hard pipe running up the 1st half of the dipperstick. The previous owner also included a footpedal switch in the cab. It is electric footswitch with a plug that plugs into the bottom/side of the wobblestick tower. He also included a large 3' hose with...

    Compaction wheel/sheepsfoot for backhoe

    The seller of the NH backhoe I'm buying is offering to sell me a Gearmore sheepsfoot wheel compactor for the backhoe. First he wanted $1,000. Now he's offering it for $500. I think it costs over $2,000 new. It's in excellent condition, but the whole unit has a light rust haze on it instead...

    May have NH LB115 on the way!!

    Hopefully my search has ended and I've found my machine. I found a 2000 New Holland LB115 4WD/4WS, cab/air/airseat, e-hoe, 4 in 1 bucket, rear aux hydraulics. Also comes with ~75% tires, 18", 24", 30" 36" & 48" B/H buckets. 5700 hours, but in better condition than most 2 yr old backhoes I've...

    Shipping a backhoe from across the country

    If you found exactly what you wanted for a very good price in excellent condition for its' age, would you ship it 3000 miles just to get it? Somebody stop me, because I'm about ready to.....:eek: Found a great deal on a beautiful machine with all the features I ever wanted-only problem is...

    CAT "IT" backhoes

    The IT stands for "integrated toolcarrier" right? So this means the bucket can be interchanged for other front tools, like a broom, 4 in1 etc. Am I correct to assume this means the tools can be attached/detached from the cab without getting out? What runs the broom or 4 in 1? Is there a...

    Why no side shift hoes?

    Just curious as to why side shift hoes are so popular in Europe and so seldomly offered in the states? A side shift hoe would be worth its' weight in gold to me. European backhoes seem to have some dynomite features on them.

    TEREX backhoes

    Anyone have opinions? Please, no kids. I need real world experience- may have found a backhoe with exactly what features I want, but it's a T-REX. I was looking at the usual suspects-Case, CAT, Deere, etc. Is TEREX an American company? I noticed the machine I'm looking at is made in England.

    '97 New Holland Powershift

    Can I trust a 12 yr old powershift trans in a New Holland 675E backhoe? What's the exchange & installation price on one of them? I can't help but think they're like automatic transmissions in trucks-nice to drive, but BIG $$ to replace. :eek:

    Ideal "cheap" backhoe

    Unfortunately, I sold my SuperM today :( to make room for a mini-excavator:) Anyway, I want to buy an older, much less expensive backhoe to load trucks, move some piles and maybe once in a while use the backhoe for actual backhoe digging. I mostly want it to load soil into trucks. Wish...

    Good prices for used B/H buckets.

    What's a good price for a USED 12", 18" or 36" bucket for my Case 580? I'm looking at some for sale on Ebay right now. There's no paint on them, but the teeth are not worn. Looks like they mostly just sat outside for 5-10 years.

    Case FFC snowplow

    Found this FFC snowplow for Case backhoes. It's a pin-on style (not quick attach). I have the quick attach style where the attachment has hooks on top and loops on bottom for the retractable q/a pins. I love my FFC q/a system and would really like to get this plow and I wonder if there's an...

    TLB with a JCB "fastrak" feature

    Ever see the JCB "Fastrak" tractors? They can go like 40MPH in road transport mode Anyone ever think this could be a real money maker if it was done to a TLB? Might be able to get rid of the trailer and just road the machine to lots of local jobsites. If i could have a backhoe that could go...

    Why are machines painted so poorly?

    I really like my '05 Case backhoe, but the paint job is abysmal. I just had the top panels on the hood repainted. The guy who did the work for me said the paint came off real easy and that the metal was rusting under the paint.:eek: The side panels have paint flaking off in small sheets. Paint...

    Snowplow for Case backhoe?

    Anyone know if my Case backhoe with the FFC quick attach front can be equipped with a power angle plow? This would be great for me.
