    This is one of the best diy excavator/backhoe that I’ve seen on RUclips, and believe me, I’ve seen a lot of vids. Congratulations, very handy pretty little toy.

      This is absolutely not a backhoe. Backhoes barely have 180° swing at best. And they are mounted on the back of another tractor.
      This is barely an excavator. It does not have motorized tracks or wheels under it.
      But it is a nice homemade project for very small jobs.

    Excellent build, you said that the you used a Mondeo wheel bearing for the slewing pivot and it wobbles a bit, my suggestion is to fit another one underneath and extend the pivot shaft through both bearings.

  • @technobear6155

    This is great! A fellow engineer I was an apprentice with showed me this video after I started describing the excavator I'm planning to make. We built a hovercraft from scratch in our apprentice school for our final project, and it worked lol.
    Well, like I was saying, when I started describing my plans for an excavator, he laughed and pulled up your vid, then asked me "oh, you mean like this one? Looks like someone beat you to it buddy. Lol!" I was admittedly a bit speechless, a bit frustrated, and most importantly, a double bit motivated.
    I was surprised how you went about it pretty much the same way I had planned, honestly you and I probably both think it wouldn't make sense any other way. So, I guess the situation is now I got to get one up on you Brother.
    I'm a tiny bit overwhelmed with other projects currently, but I'm determined to make it happen.
    Cheers Brother, thanks for the motivation and very good job!

    Very sharp and professional build, a good downbudget homebuild that could easily pass the glance check as a manufactured design. Small enough to put on a small trailer, and I could see value in adding a lawn tractor trailer hitch,which would also give you some counterweight for heavier cutting
