    Broke casting on backhoe and backhoe leaking

    Hi I lost track of this thread they replaced the entire casting on the backhoe and fixed the grapple that is a very large casting. I now have 200 hours on the tractor and would guess about 75 using the BH. I was skeptical when buying it and almost cancelled it but it has been a godsend. I use...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    Backhoe Owners poll.......

    Owning a backhoe is the one of the best reasons to own a tractor. I use mine very often more often than I ever thought I would. and for those who think a backhoe on a B 2301 is not useful they are wrong. I am very often transplanting trees. digging trenches or moving rocks I even lift logs to...

    whats kind of bad is I did not realize it broke and tore up the lawn. backing up I know there is a video on how to remove that hardware sounds simple to fix but caught a tree root and it made a pretty big mess.

    Pallet style Carry-all to haul screened top soil

    Thanks Russell I did not think about the grapple I did get some of the bigger rocks out with the grapple when I dug out the sea shed slab. I guess I am trying to find an easy way to get the dirt out from under the screen without having to scoop it out but maybe just keeping it simple will be...

    Pallet style Carry-all to haul screened top soil

    thank you Greenville my original plan was to make the screen setup portable. and move the rock or dirt as needed. but if I do the pallet box for the dirt and the bucket for the rock I will need to get in from both sides so a stationary set up will be better. I will not be doing a lot I just...

    Pallet style Carry-all to haul screened top soil

    top soil in my area is quite expensive. so I purchased a 4x8 piece of extruded steel mesh for a dirt screen. My intention is to screen the spoil from ditches and other dirt works. I do not have a trailer and have no intention of removing the backhoe to put a hitch on. So I am thinking about...
