I have added a few things...

I am in volcano country so our land has a lot of rock. My size decision was based on my backhoe. I absolutely wanted a full frame backhoe because I knew I would beat the hell out of it...works great. I have dug many large joint trenches for the septic system, electrical, gas and drainage. No...

I have about an acre and a half that I clean once a year of pine needles, dead drops and crap from a lot of very big trees. I fill my 6x14’ dump trailer up 4-6 times just to clean up each spring. So it pays for itself each year! Like I mentioned...I had the bucket as I replaced it with a QA...

Always down when unattended...never know when it could drop or the pressure released.

I made one out of my old non QA bucket.

I have 500’ and use a good Stihl backpack blower...use it to pile up the needles as well. Works great.

You mean like this...no issue...

The two left/right cylinders work together to move the boom. If one has a blown seal...you can get that problem. can you manually push the boom to either side...if so, probably have a bad cylinder/seal.

our standard of living is simply too high. We have time and have found ways to fill it by focusing on things that there simply was no time for before. country’s with lower standards of living (amongst other issues) are busy trying to survive, work, keep from getting killed, figuring out food...

Having a tractor is great...having a neighbor buddy with an excavator is awesome...

Every gate valve I have ever had...leaks or would not shut off after a few years of use. I replace them as needed with good quality brass quarter turn ball valves...

Go for it OP...it is the handiest tool I own. No more jumping on and off the BH. I swapped mine over and plumbed it myself. Bought aftermarket ram.

Join Welding Web website...incredible amount of info and good people on there...sorta like this place...

This is about buying votes...lots and lots of votes. sorta like the illegal immigration crap...everybody is a citizen now. Look at my state, welcomes all...pays BILLIONS to house, educate including free college, provide full medical...you name it. buying votes...

Their video is sorta interesting...the tractor has the ROPS down...they tow/drive it while dumping....and then fill it while not tied to anything or the tractor... not much in the way of safety going on there! having watched a guy flip a tractor and dump trailer doing what they show...sorta...

Nice....very handy tool. I built this on mine to haul tools and to tie down the bucket when hauling.

I agree...but one of the benefits of being a contributor is less ads...that benefit seems to have been changed/eliminated as part of the site update... great site and very helpful...but the formatting and ad delivery/quantity is something I was glad to contribute money to the site to avoid.

Annoying as hell...it would be great to fix it.

looks good...but before you bury it put a couple of clean out risers in...they can get full of silt and stuff laying on the roof...

I did something a bit bigger...and added a reinforced bracket to hold the weight.
