Great video ,I had like 10 flash backs of my childhood from music thinking about Atari and Nintendo lol, it’s like donkey Kong , pitfall , castlevania all in one !And was impressed with the machine all at once !
My son and I are adding an extension on our garage, the floor now is concrete, and we are going in use wood so we will have to dig down to install the frame. we bought as we call it (Little Big Red) last summer, but it was near winner before it showed up, so we are just now getting started. It didn't take long before my son learned to use it. It removed 10'x20' x1' deep of super hard rock clay in no time the time was hauling it off with a 10 cubic foot yard cart. It is worth every dime to us. five stars
You're right, it does suck. Get a small tractor with a loader and detachable backhoe all in one unit. If you have a lot of backhoe work to do then get a used regular mini excavator. You will get a lot more work done a lot easier and in a lot less time with a mini excavator. And you will get a lot of use out of that backfill blade which is also your stabilizer.
You need to run the hydraulic hoses for the curl cylinder through the space on the attach points for the curl and crowd cylinders. The reason the hoses have the springs on them is so you can do that. It keeps the hoses from rubbing on the metal. With the hoses flopping around the way you have it induces unwanted stress on the fittings not to mention some day you will catch that hose on something which will cause an early termination of your work day. I have owned one of these backhoe for over two years now.
I saw the floppy hoses too.... somebody was in a hurry putting that one together.... I have owned mine for about 3 years now..... use it a lot !! So handy....
As a former track hoe excavator operator, I have to say that the heavier machine you have, the more ripping force you have. This machine has no weight to it. My neighbor bought one of the harbor freight backhoes to dig up his water line at his gas station. It does not have enough weight and ripping force to dig through the hard dirt. He ended up having to hire a contractor instead. What a waste of $3200.
You seem to copy and paste this exact comment on every HF towable backhoe video. I think most of us understand that a larger heavier backhoe would perform better. But sometimes you get what your budget allows. I have one acre and only needed something to do light duty work. A $35k John Deere would have been nice, but just not doable. Also as an option, you can leave it attached to your tow vehicle to get a little more weight/stability when needed.
It would take waaay too long with one of those. You would get a lot more work done a lot easier and in a lot less time with a regular mini excavator, a good used one would do just fine but you need that backfill blade more than you realize.
Oh my gosh, it has four control levers instead of joysticks? What a pain in the ass! Some people call those piano keyboards like the case controls that give you swollen knuckles over the years.
Sped up. So it takes 2-4x longer than this video shows. So 1.5-2 hours getting setup and digging that trench for a 10’ x 18” culvert. If time in on your side and soft soil, go for it.
YOUNG MAN , DON'T CURVE THE BUCKET SOONER OT LATER U WILL HURT BACKHOE PIN , U WILL TWIST THE PIN / JUST LAY BUCKET FLAT ON THE GROUND TO MOVE OT RASIE THIS MACHINE UP OR DOWN !
How do you lay it Flat on the ground? I don't understand. I have to use the 3 Teeth to move mine around.... cause I am going up and down Slick places..... Oh be careful going down a steep slope.
Some hardware stores can make them. Any hydraulic repair shop. Almost any tractor dealership. Any tractor parts place. Tractor supply hardware. Hose world, etc. 😆 You can buy the hose and the fittings and put it together yourself if you get the screw on fittings, and they are reusable. You cut away about an inch and a half of the outside rubber and then screw on the outer shell and then you screw the other part inside of the hose. My dad made all of his hoses that way for 40 years on his commercial John Deere backhoe and his commercial Massey Ferguson tractor. Here's a picture of those from Napa. www.napaonline.com/en/p/GATG341000404
Yeah those motorized toys are garbage and they don't get much work done. and that music is garbage and annoying and irritating. a lot of people would rather hear the equipment running and any appropriate dialogue for the job. I would jump at the chance to run a mini excavator but I would not want to run one of those pieces of junk!
Great work! We have the same machine and have got a lot of work done with it on our 20 acres. Just did the hydraulic pump upgrade (czcams.com/video/VIQbUcIsBvg/video.html) and now it's even more fun to work with.
You have a kubota tractor with a loader that could have done it in half the time, or you could have gotten the kubota backhoe an it would have taken even less time. Your time laps looks like a regular speed video of a real backhoe.
@@_Branawesome He already has a tractor. He should just get a backhoe for it not waste his money and his time on that motorized piece of garbage. The tractor that he has is not commercial anyway. It's a light duty hobby farm mini sized tractor. It's a lot cheaper than a commercial tractor. And a frame Mount backhoe for that tractor will do a lot better job and a lot quicker and easier.
You would have done way better to get a backhoe for that tractor that you're driving. Just make sure to get a frame mount backhoe so you don't break your tractor in half with a three-point mount.
You can also buy a new Chinese excavator for about 6,000 from what I see on CZcams. It would be a lot better than that. Good video though. Just drop the music so that we can hear the equipment and the dialogue.
A shovel might be a better fit for this i operator. Lost count of how many buckets had less than a shovelful of dirt in them. No way I would have uploaded this for the world to see.
I think the time laps is making it look like a lot less dirt in the bucket then there is because some of the buckets are over the edge but looks like dust pouring out.
I think he's just making sure he's got all the loose dirt cleaned out of the ditch before he moves further back. I do the same thing at work and the hoe I use has way more range of motion than this little thing
Platinum Reflection in your experience, how much cover is needed over a plastic culvert? I've put a few 12 and 18" corrugated metal culverts in with only 8" of cover over them without issues. A few 110,000# loads with no issues. I've put in a few plastic pipes like these with only 6" of dirt and 6" of road crush fines that stood up well, but the loads were lighter - 75,000# or so.
@@cammurray8453 Each City, State, and county may have different regulations. steel corrugated pipe is strong enough that you could leave it exposed. But steel corrugated pipe does rot out after a number of years. The plastic corrugated pipe is also fairly strong but most places require at least a foot of cover over it. But if its on your own property and there's no specific regulations then do whatever you want with it.
I'd like to see that. If you tried to keep up with this thing using a shovel, you'd be exhausted almost before it warms up. It would take you much longer accomplish the same tasks.
U really thought it was a good idea for the music????????????
😅🤣🤣😅😅
I’m here for the music…
Wrong audio track for this video!
We can't hear the equipment running, or the related dialog.

You needed to say how it worked out for you & the music suxs . I'm looking to buy one to use on the property .

Thank you for that video a friend of mine bought one
I am hard pressed to find anything bad said about this machine. The more videos and articles I see, the more I wa... err , need one! Honey...?
Idd like a cool machine like that to make mountain trails for ATV's
It would take waaay too long with one of those.

Guys with bigs hands run them fine. Guys with small hands had trouble. I usually ran a dozer but we had a stupid 5 stick case.
Great Job ! Best value on the market !

I too, love Harbor Freight and chiptunes~
Harbor freight has some adequate stuff and a whole lot of garbage!
how long did it take in real time??
God dam music what were you thinking !
No shit!!!
I whole hardly agree with you.
Before Talkies?
I see the operator was also wearing ear protection, can say I blame him
with horrid music playing in the background 🤔🤔🤐🤐
Music is overrated to the point of sadness in some videos.
Had to turn that off ! WOW!
Question is, how long did that take to dig?
Alot less than a shovel will take..🤣
Damn skippy 🤣
Did you run over your drink box that you set on the ground ?
What is that behind the tree on 14:35, something is walking on the bushes to the right.
14:30
No great mystery. Watch at 13:29. It's a guy (jeans, dark jacket, white baseball cap) using a chainsaw to work in the woods behind him.
Itz a dayum yeti!
Painful to watch! Could have done that with a shovel and pick and saved all of us some time!
YOUNG MAN ,
DON'T CURVE THE BUCKET SOONER OT LATER U WILL HURT BACKHOE PIN , U WILL TWIST THE PIN / JUST LAY BUCKET FLAT ON THE GROUND TO MOVE OT RASIE THIS MACHINE UP OR DOWN !
That is one of the strongest parts of the backhoe... for any backhoe.
How do you lay it Flat on the ground? I don't understand. I have to use the 3 Teeth to move mine around.... cause I am going up and down Slick places..... Oh be careful going down a steep slope.
And tracks and a dozer blade to that thing!
You will work yourself to death on something that's small and gutless!
Pretty handy machine! Would rather hear the machine working though instead of the annoying arcade music?
Power fab was so much better. 👍👍
ANY one know where to get a hydraulic houses for it ? One of my House snapped. please help .
Go napa they can make you one

Good video other than the music
Yah, the music really sucks!
Music is fing annoying! Moving on to some other video!
I had to stop watching and mute the video because of the terrible noise you thought would be good music

Wanted to view this but the music was to much
You're gonna be really excited when you find out you can turn the volume up or down.
Don't watch videos to turn the volume off!!!
Could not dig that by hand
Nice video game music
Damn music is terrible
Hate the music
My opinion if you was was only digging that deep a shovel would be faster.. that pipe is shallow it should be deeper
