Pictures of your Backhoe!!!!!

[Jmvance1]

I got a hoerake to go with my thumb so I won't beat up my buckets moving rock anymore. It works great!

This was pre rake, not having the bucket sides in the way is really nice for loading and placing the rocks.

A very familiar photo, I have the same backhoe, My trailer has six tires instead of 8. Truck is a different manufacturer, but the same color.

Hey Willie,

Remember when I was getting that Truck and trailer from AZ...
Blew the water jacket before I crest the mountain...

Lost a lot of money on that... bout 12K after the dust settled.

My 580k non turbo 4x4. Phase 1 with 4 lever stick control. She's probably seen better days but does me fine.

Just can't beat having your own Backhoe !!!
Looks like a clean machine.

Mine is, (I guess) the same vintage. Mine is Extenda Hoe, I have converted it to JD joystick control, and I have a cab with heat, AC is less important in VT. Last Saturday my son and his groupie, (my age) were moving firewood. We have a hard rule here: NEVER MOVE THE BACKHOE WITH THE DOOR OPEN!!!!! I was busy with my taxes. I wasn't there to remind. Destruction was absolute! All components of the door with exception of the bottom door glass were demolished. The bottom hinge on the cab was pushed back about an inch. Somehow he embedded tree bark in the grease fittings of the rear bucket. The hoe is none the worst for wear. I haven't yet found the injured tree.

that's why MOST won't let people LEARN with their equipment

He's 23, his buddy is 59. The learning process began 15 years ago. He's a contestant for biggest know it all in the world. It's a long story.

I just reversed my cutting edge on the loader bucket...
It was about to start wearing on the bucket edge ....Nice and straight now.
Nice option to be able to turn it around.
Looks like yours could use it ? Hard to see it clear enough to tell...

PS Second look at it , I'm not seeing the Bolts/Nuts for the cutting edge...
