I would have bet that was factory made!
Thanks...when building or making mods, I try to make them look like a factory build.
I just finished putting a "thumb mount" on my BH75 backhoe this past weekend....

This is how it started out...

Wow. If you haven't done a build thread on that you should, that thing looks awesome!

Warning! Its a long winded thread.

I hate you guys that can weld
It’s not rocket science. Get yourself a decent machine and start practicing. Be a bit before your stacking dimes but it’s a great skill to have under your belt. Even if your not at the pipe fitter or structural steel level. I enjoy welding and steel work. Glad I didn’t pick it as a courier or I’d probably not want to do it in my spare time


One of my more ambitious projects. A stump grinder with extendable boom.
Thats one of the nicest builds I’ve seen. A++. I love when it not only looks factory built but expensive.
When you can't weld--use bolts
Yours looks expensive also just in a different way. Lol. Still looks like it will get the job done. These build threads are some of my favourite ones to go through.

Are there 8 draw bars in there?
I think it's 12, 3 shorter (black ones), some were cut up with a chop saw.
TSC bolts($ by the lb.)

I was thinking of something like that for the BH to double as a tree limb cutter. How do you like using your design so far?
I absolutely love it! Its been very dependable. Would be more efficient if it was on a tractor with 100hp or more but you work with what you got.
