- In this video, I take on the challenge of using the Harbor Freight trencher / backhoe to excavate a deep hole for installing a railroad tie post in my DIY retaining wall project. Watch as I showcase the process, and the work the Central Machinery Backhoe can do. Explore the capabilities of the Harbor Freight trencher and backhoe for your landscaping, farming, or homesteading needs.
Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner looking for homesteading tools, this video will give you an idea for the projects you can use it for.

Nice job Derek! Over time you will find the "sweet spot" where you can start one control just before releasing the other one. It will never move like a 50 thousand dollar digger but it will give you more of a smooth, fluid movement.
I'm now 10.5 years with my HFT Trencher. Quite a machine. You'll love it.
I had no idea Harbor Freight made backhoes. Now I'm impressed.
They are awesome for what they are.
I run 2 maybe 3 sticks at a time. it takes time. You'll get it.
I’ve watched so many of your videos for so many years waiting for the day I get one haha!
I hope your recovery goes well. I need to install a retaining wall as well. Nice review my friend.
It’s going well. Thank you. Good luck with your wall. It’s a lot of work!
Keep light pressure on the stick coordinating with your next movement and you'll stop the over-pressure squeak.
Hey D, wattup, I'm just catching up with people's vids. Those HF hoes are legit. Probably not enough weight on them is their main drawback, but maybe that could be solved by keeping them hooked up to the tractor via hitch. Hope you're all healed up by now, guy!
thats interesting had no idea harbor frieght offered that seem to make easy work out of that digging im in Kingman i know there no such thing as easy digging with a shovel here , iv seen were there are some china made mini excavators sold now too are a very fair price too,, way back when i was in my 20s i used to do some railroad tie retaining wall projects i think it was anything over 3 high we would put in what was called dead men just another way of suporting the wall.. hope you have a quick recovery thanks for the vid
Yes I’ve heard conflicting things on the deadman posts. I’ve read you only need them over 4 feet and that’s how high this wall is so I decided not to do it. I might ultimately regret it though. We’ll see!
Not bad for $3k! The bolts around the bucket look very loose or maybe just terrible tolerances. I'd recommend doing something about that before you break the pins
Ya I’ll check them out!
