My Homemade Backhoe

[garth]

nice job where did you purchase the plans that would be a good winter project

[scottw]

The backhoe plans are available at www.cdp-backhoe.com. I liked his design the best and it was reasonably priced. There are a few others out there also, try doing a Google search on "backhoe plans" or "towable backhoe".

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. Right now I am in the process of building a small skidsteer loader. I will start a new thread for that. I am building it as I go, no plans.

Very nice. Anyother project pics?

[HMW]

Very nice job. Did the cylinders , pump and valves come as a kit or did you just piece it together. At any rate it looks good.


Ps: funny, my name is also Scott, and my last name bigins with a "W"
