A few observations from using my BX backhoe with limited hydraulic power. 1) Up the RPM to get more power but makes things harder for delicate work 2) for breaking roots, use the bucket's curl function at the same time as booming out to use the leverage to snap roots easier. 3) When digging deep, scrape the earth with the teeth of the bucket then scoop up the loose dirt with the bucket to avoid compacting the wet earth in the bucket so it falls out easier if it's anything like in my area.. Well done! Awesome project, and have fun! The backhoe is one of the best things I got.
Thanks Ross. All excellent points. I had a backhoe for 6 years and sold it just over 2 years ago. I then bought the tractor I have now but since it was at covid time I couldn't get a backhoe for it. I totally missed not having a backhoe and I am very happy to finally pick one up for my current tractor. Hope you are having a great weekend despite all of this rain we are getting.
Paul, it was so much fun to see all the work you had put in to installing the backhoe really pay off!!! I had one on my BX years ago and didn't really use it that much. But when I did, it was such a blessing!
Thanks John. It has been very rewarding to have done the backhoe installation myself. I am totally enjoying ripping out stumps and big rocks. My previous backhoe I put nearly 400 hours on it This new backhoe will see a whole lot more action than the previous one. It is one of those attachments that you either use a lot or not very often. I agree that it's a blessing to have when you need it. Have a fantastic week!
I love my backhoe, and will be putting it back on my BX shortly to dig up some stumps and make way for more planting. Giving it a full watch now Paul. Happy Canada Day weekend.
From watching your videos you have gotten a lot of use out of your backhoe so I can fully understand why you love it. They are a fantastic attachment that enable you to do so many different task. You too, Happy Canada Day weekend!
Good afternoon Paul. I must say, I do enjoy watching people use their backhoes. My favorite attachment. We could tell you were having fun. Enjoy the holiday tomorrow, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Good evening Ben. The backhoe most certainly is a great attachment and I know that you use your backhoe a lot. Definitely having fun with it removing stumps and big rocks. You too, enjoy the holiday tomorrow!
I liked how you chipped apart the root 👍🏻 that looked like a lot of fun 👍🏻. I sure it was for you and more fun to come 👍🏻. Have a great Saturday Paul 🙋🏼♂
Thanks Luc. That root was so thick and there was no other way to get the stump loose without chipping away at it. It was a whole lot of fun to do. The stump I did right after (not filmed) was much bigger and I enjoyed every minute ripping it out. You too, have a great Saturday!
Good morning Bob. I have already put 40 hours on it and I have enjoyed every bit of time using it. I can easily see hundreds of more hours for all the work that I plan to do with it. Have a fabulous weekend!
Thanks Sam. I wish I would have had this backhoe come with my tractor when I purchased it just over 2 years ago. I would like to get an excavator eventually to replace the backhoe, smaller than the one you have, but it's not in the budget right now. Have a super Sunday!
Good morning Gregory. It most certainly was a bit tricky with the nearby tree and the stump I was removing being tied together. I had thought about getting a stump grinder since I do have a few hundred stumps to remove. I don't disagree that a stump grinder would be very effective, but the issue is that there are far too many big rocks, long surface roots, etc. to deal with and I don't want to switch back and forth between attachments. Especially when the backhoe can do it all. Also, the additional expense to rent or buy a stump grinder (plus storage) is not something that appeals to me. Thanks for watching and have a super weekend!
@@JelenOutDoors I am in the same spot with stumps and rocks - I did get the Woodland Mills Chipper (WC46) this spring - the stump grinder is now looking appealing since I like the quality of the chipper. It’s all about the use of time and storage space. I like your CZcams channel- good content!
Thank you kindly. It sure is about time and storage / maintenance. The Woodland Mills stump grinder does look impressive just like all of the rest of their equipment. I have been burning 90% of the brush and the other 10% I cart off to a brush dump site just 5 minutes away. I have been debating on getting the WC68 so that I can get rid of the brush at any time rather than waiting for the appropriate time to burn or having to cart it away.
Hello Paul. I would love to have a backhoe! I would put it to good use. I could use it to dig up that maple I want to transplant lol. It always amazes me how far the roots of a tree can spread! I think a grapple would be a great asset too. Take care.
Good morning John. You got that right some tree roots are amazingly long. I was wondering if rental village had a tree spade to rent to transplant that maple. I do have a grapple and it is most certainly a great asset. Happy Canada day 🇨🇦
The fun a man has with his toys, and it all started when we were kids in a sandbox. Cheers to toys in the sand box.
Thank You. It most certainly did start when we were kids in a sandbox. The fun never stops. Have a super evening!
Excellent job removing the stump using the backhoe.
Thanks Kenny. I am having fun with the backhoe. Have a super week!

Awesome 💪. They are so handy! Have a great weekend and happy digging!
Thanks Mike. The backhoe is great. Your too, have a great weekend!
Nice machine. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you all the best 😊
Thank you kindly. All the best to you as well and have a super day!
Good morning Paul. The backhoe will get a lot of use. Enjoy The Journey - Cheers
Good morning Bob. I have already put 40 hours on it and I have enjoyed every bit of time using it. I can easily see hundreds of more hours for all the work that I plan to do with it. Have a fabulous weekend!
Wow! Continue sharing your wonderful work videos with us! Let's keep our connection alive~
Thank you kindly. I appreciate you watching. Have a great week!
Great job Paul! I have to admit, I wish I had opted for the backhoe on my BX. I'll probably get that option on my next tractor 🤠👍
Thanks Sam. I wish I would have had this backhoe come with my tractor when I purchased it just over 2 years ago. I would like to get an excavator eventually to replace the backhoe, smaller than the one you have, but it's not in the budget right now. Have a super Sunday!
Hey Paul, nice job. Wish I had a better solution for stumps. Have a great week.
Thanks Tod. There is a lot of enjoyment taking out stumps with a backhoe. You too, have a great week!
That was a tricky dig because you had roots from surrounding trees to contend with. Great video, but sometimes, a stump grinder is the answer.
