The "Backhoe Thread" for backhoes and work done with them.

[BillybobLockwood]

Post pictures of backhoes, backhoe attachments, and work done with them, we will make backhoes Great again!

Currently I'm doing a 1,400 yard backfill on a big retaining wall we built, laying the dirt in with the hoe, compacting it in lifts with the wheels, and grading it off.

What’s the story with the tow out job then

Competitor made a compleat hash of the dog leg part of section and went straight into the bank rather than turn around it so the winch couldn't pull him around it as he had snapped his track rod so one wheel was toeing out and like an giant plow digging in
Photos don't do justice for how steep the section is

That’s some good looking work! Where you sitting on the angle on purpose? To cut that angled batter? Very clean work sir! I’m very impressed. You’ve got to dig up some more of these pictures!!
