I’ve been looking at quick attach mounts for my SEE and I find various load ratings but none that I’m stoked on. I don’t remember if that topic has come up before ( search skills not up to it ). Anyone using a mount they are happy actually using?

nice. I guess I could use 3/8 for the pressure and 1/2 for the return given that it's not a dual acting circuit, and that might gain some spool space..... BUT, doesn't seem worth it. Extensions a la FLU Farm = more easier.

I can make my own hydraulic hoses, so i just cut off the bad sections and crimped on new fittings. I did briefly contemplate replacing all the 1/2” hose with 3/8”. New hose and about 50% more of it. I doubt the reduction in flow would hurt much though I didn’t do the math.

Sorry for no pictures, but recently used the HD 45 rock drill for 60 1“ x 18“ holes in pre-existing concrete. Worked awesome right up until the end when the old hoses sprang a leak near the quick disconnect fittings. All fixed now, no big deal but a little messy right at the end.

should update to woodbagger I know they contemplated a sandbag filling bucket... maybe a wood splitting bucket should be your next project. Throw a round in and it comes out split. Totally safe.

Direct / underdrive selector stuck between the two? Doesn’t sound too much like the common shift bushing failure. You have pto so the clutch is fine, 4x4 selector won’t create a neutral.... the direct/under is the only thing that comes to mind.

A few things; First, don’t fold the Backhoe every time. Just raise it up to lock position turn it a little to the left and go on. Second, The hydraulic pump for the loader and auxiliary tools is a joke. Totally capable for pressure, just very limited on volume.I adjusted the pressure relief for...

Mission Ridge. A flatbed trailer would be best, Towers, steel building parts, long things. We've got a 30 foot tripple axle trailer that has gotten most things up and could probably complete the haul. The tough nut to crack is that we need to get a spool of haul rope from the parking lot to...

30 - 40 feet would be good. Wenatchee Wa. The tough nut to crack is that we need to get a spool of haul rope from the parking lot to about 3/4 mile up the mountian. The road is pretty good, but it's steep in a couple places, and the spool weighs 66,000.

We are building a chairlift. Replacing one to be precise, and a contractor who had a 5 ton and trailer to haul large heavy things up the mountain decided one day they didn’t want to keep working. So we need a 6 x 6 with trailer to haul some things. Anybody in Washington want to help?

Good thoughts. IDK about the valve position. Isn't the tank return above the oil level? That would suck air? Maybe? If the pto isn't engaged I think the pump should turn pretty easy. I vote normal "lower" lever position. Also you're gonna want the latches "open" so they can "close" and hold...

That's hilarious (and frightening). Do you think the planetary hubs were still in play or bypassed somehow? Not to mention the tires rated to 26 mph. All those poor gears, oh the humanity!

I like to run the SEE with the Hoe deployed. I think side - side bumps are slightly amplified, but the loader and traction is so much better. Plus the vis as mentioned and the ease of transition make it feel a little more like a dirt mover. On flat ground the CG is lower but I'd have to look...

Looks very familiar. Only thing I would say is that I find it easier to leave the hoe up in the deployed position when using the front loader. Better balance with a loaded bucket and better traction for scooping. Just stow it to the left as normal but leave it up and not folded forward...

Think hard about how hard the ground is that you'll be working. This is a heavy machine, heavier than a regular backhoe of the same size, and with MUCH smaller tires = higher ground pressure. They are cool machines, but just not as good at digging and moving as their purpose built cousins...

Yes they get sticky. Be emotionally prepared for a possible broken headlight.

I especially liked the “light weight” part in the description. A girl can dream.

Yea, that's a beefy set of axles there.... or a total disregard for safe towing. Probably the former.

That’s awesome sauce! I’ve always wanted to play with one of those scanners. +1 million for the quick-tach. Pull the trigger on that one.

I’m not sure what the T M says but just take the backhoe off, block it up, and remove the valve block that way. I can’t imagine trying to do it with the implement on the machine. I was actually asking Nick if his gauges etc. stayed on. I just wondered if the clutch switch and starting solenoid...
