Dang, that is way more powerful than I expected. I figured that machine was built from tinfoil and would break touching a rock that size. I was proven so very wrong. Makes me want one for my farm now.
I've seen these things damaged from over stress. They have damaged buckets and cylinders. A tremendously useful device if you stay within their limitations. I don't know if they lack pressure relief valves or if they are not properly set. This looks like a man with man with machine vs rock feud.
You are exactly right Patrick. I was determined to unearth that rock. It was only a small tip exposed to the surface of my lawn. Tired of mowing around and often hitting it... I discovered that it was much larger than what I had expected, but I wasn't about to give up without a fight ;-)
I have one got mine in 21 I've been making Changes to it big pump ( not for speed for efficiency) canopy differ pins Weld washer over pin holes keep sloppy out some large hoses differ seat 4 wheels AN MORE TRY FIGURE A WAY TO MOVE IT AROUND BY ITSELF
I really want one of these little backhoes, but I have to have electric start. I don't buy any engine that doesn't have electric start. Guess I'll check out the northern tool version.
@Scott.Farkus lol 😆 I've had to back off and cover up my mess, when I tackle one that's too large for my equipment. I just add more dirt to cover up the iceberg. 🤣

Impressive work with that little tool..
Thanks, it's a tough little machine !
Big rock, great job!!
Remove the thumb since it's locked in one position and it should work much better.

What a beast for the money.

It could come in handy in combination with small tractor or a 4 wheeler.
You are right. I have a small Kubota with a front end loader. Welded a ball on top of the bucket to manuver the digger around.
Nice work. If you were to pick up a rock with straps what do you think the weight limit would be?
I'd guess around 1500 lbs.
The bucket itself can lift about 300 pounds.

@@codetech5598 Do you think this log is 300 lbs. or less?

Whoe😮vwhere did you get the thumb for the bucket?
Amazon
@@mountainviewdronemanbi wonder if the thumb fits my ( dig it) backhoe

Awesome
what's the reach on this
About 8 ft if I read the website correctly.
Might do better without the thumb.
Yes, you are right. I was lazy, didn't feel like folding the thumb up out of the way.
Funny I use tow straps and just pull it out in 5 mins
Some things are better left buried
Not when the tip of the iceberg is sticking up in your lawn.
@@mountainviewdroneman Lol I've buried a few rocks
