- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- I'll show you how to build your own custom backhoe attachment in todays video.
We made a custom backhoe scraper blade for the John Deere 260 backhoe. This makes this 8" bucket similar to a ditch bucket. This attachment can be installed and removed in less than a minute easily without removing the bucket. This design can be applied to any backhoe bucket. You may want to also view video #99 for additional information.
Welcome to my channel, I'm in Dubuque Iowa, and my channel is know as Today in Iowa or Bill Burkhart 1025.Be sure and check out my channel for many videos including the John Deere 2038r backhoe and the many implements I have to maintain my property.
I'd enjoy hearing your comments, I answer every comment.

Ready to build mine, awesome tool Mr Bill
Good morning Elvin, this backhoe paddle is very handy. Happy holidays-Bill
great idea i build one and use it alot
@@2-8-1-peach Im happy to hear yours is working well. Stay cool.-Bill
Smart idea!
Happy Easter Thomas, thank you! I’ve found it very useful since making it. Enjoy your holiday weekend. - Bill
Works like a charm for moving that little sledgehammer closer to the garage. Nicely done.
Thank you Chris, I appreciate you taking time to say hello and comment.
thank you for showing this piece that is something I was in need of that's a perfect tool for scraping off rocks or cleaning up a bottom of a ditch again thank you
Your welcome Bob, thanks for the positive comments and taking time to say hello.
Love it!
Aaron, it’s not something I use everyday but it’s useful sometimes-Bill
awesome! gonna make one
Awesome! I get requests to sell these once in a while. Hope it turns out well for you -Bill
Slow and steady wins the race with no damage good video
Thanks Don

Good looking john deere tractor like the style way to go your service is deeply appreciated thanks take care. Joe
Good morning Joe, thanks for your kind comments. I appreciate it! Enjoy your weekend-Bill
Very nice! Much more maneuverable and useful than using the loader.
Hi Chris, I could not have described this tool any better, it is very maneuverable. Thanks for writing.
I cannot wait for more video's on this and its many uses.
Thank you Allen, I have many videos coming out soon. Thanks for the kind comments.
Keep the excellent videos coming! Very good and informative!
Thank you Don I sure appreciate the positive comments
That's pretty slick! I think I'll just make a shoe for my 11" bucket.
Jack, you’ll be surprised how often you use it. I hope the video gives you some ideas to build your own. Have a great Labor Day weekend
Looks good, nice project.
Thanks John
Great idea Bill, that thing looks great! I need to look into something like this, thanks for sharing. Take care!
Hi Dave, thank you. I'm real jealous of your wood chipper, are you noticing and wear on the rear PTO spline? I had a viewer tell me wood chippers are hard on the rear PTO splines. I do not see any wear on mine at all. Looks like your enjoying your new tractor.
Thanks Bill, it sure is handy to have! No I haven’t noticed a bit of wear on mine either! I’d figure it would be fine unless maybe you had some really hard wood and a fast feed rate, but otherwise I think it has minimal loading on it due to the inertia from the wheel and multiple cutting blades. But time will be sure to let us know haha, take care buddy!
Nice design! Looks like it will be very usefull.
Thank you Larry
Looks good. I made a 60in blade for our mini excavator.
Happy Sunday, sounds great! I hope it works well for you. I'm sure your improved on my original design.
Nice idea, well executed.
Subscribed.
Thank you so much.
Much simpler and faster than building a stand alone blade. It also as the advantage of easily reverting to a bucket!
I'm going to see if I can do away with the bolts through the bucket and maybe have it clamp on the back somehow.
Good plan Dave, let me know how you make out with your design idea.
I don’t use the attachment a lot but it sure comes in handy three or four times a year.-Bill
use what you have have a good day
Well that's handy. If you got some bushings and longer bolts you could switch the scraper to both your buckets.
Hello Johnathan thats a very interesting idea. I'll explore it with my metal fabricator. Thanks for the idea.
That’s nice you can always make more than one size. Your friend should sell those.
That's too funny, I did make a wider one for the 12" bucket. That video is coming out when it warms up. Thanks for commenting.
That’s awesome Bill! It looks great and maybe you won’t have to use a shovel as much now.
I won't throw the shovel away, but I hope to use it very little during this project. Thanks again for the original idea!
Looks great! Something I would love to have for my bx23s. Y’all might want to patent that design and sell those!
Hello Keith, thanks for the kind comments. I wish I could mass produce those, hoping my video is clear enough so a lot of people can build their own. enjoy the rest of your spring
Nice job
Thank you
I am working on making a similar set up for my backhoe bucket, but still in the process of figuring out exactly how I want to fabricate this for ease of taking it off and on, fastening it etc. Your video was very helpful. Thank you
Your welcome Josh. I’m sure your design will be better.
Man that's a great idea and video I am wanting to build my own and wondered if you could send me some plans
Hi Curt. I don’t have any plans, a good welder should be able to watch the video and create one for you.-Bill
Thanks so much for your videos and your response I have a rk 37 and I am trying to figure out how to maximize usage any tips will be welcome again.... great job
If you need close I photos let me know
I love this!!!!
Thank you Steve, I made one for my larger bucket and will be making a video on that new piece. Thanks for taking time to comment.
@@billburkhart I'll be looking forward to the video! Thanks.
Good video 👍
Thank you very much Tressel
Cool Idea
Thank you Victor.
the coal company i worked at had kinda the same thing for on there excavator buckets to clean coal, and to load it too. when u wanted to load rock, just take it off-it worked great too.
Hi Big Jim, I think thats a great idea, the versatility should prove itself quickly.
This would be very useful addition. Agree with others that you should sell these. I would definitely buy one if you decide to sell them.
Hello Mike, I sure like my paddle when dealing with loose landscaping materials. Take care.
Very nice!
Thank you, I'm really enjoying the attachment. I'm making a 24" for the larger bucket too. Are you caught up with your projects?
Slowly but surely. We've had daughter off to college and a bunch of 'events' that have conspired against my projects lately, but hope to get back into the tractor vids soon. Weather is finally cooling off down south so I'm going to try and do a big push this fall. Curious on the blade mounting - did you look at taking the teeth off and using the mounting holes they use for the blade? I think you mentioned something about that, but I wasn't sure. I guess that may be more work to take on and off. I like that design alot - I'm going to have to add that to my weld project list as well! Thanks for the video - it's excellent!
Glad to hear all is well in your world TT.
I loved this blade so much I'm welding a 24" wide blade for the larger bucket. I have several videos showing how I used it this fall. I'm really happy with the design because i slides on and off quickly. Looking forward to videos from you soon. - Bill
sometime hands on means working your way though something as your go, now you know & it will be easier next time. We learn by doing.
Improve, maybe not, I am not as good as Kenny,(Good Job, Kenny), but I can weld as a maintenace welder, so i will get this scraper for my unit.
Hi Joe,
I'm sure you'r scraper will be better than mine, good luck and stay healthy.
Appears you have invented a new attachment tool. Time to take it to market lol.
THE Foreman. I tried to show it close up so anyone could build one for themselves. It’s very handy. Thanks so much for checking in
They are sold all over the world it's nothing no sorry to be the buzz Killington
May I suggest ,the sticky sand paper you use on stair ways so you do not slip.Its thick.
I spray painted the strips JD green and put it on my front cylinders so when I stack branches I do not scratch the paint.
Maybe you could use some on the dipper stick so you do not scratch your paint where your bucket rests.
We all know when you park your tractor hydraulics settle.
Hello Allen, thanks for checking in and sharing your idea. I made a larger paddle for the larger bucket and will be sharing that soon. Thanks again for your comments. Bill
Looks like something I've been thinking about building 2 dip out a bunch of debris in an old Root Cellar I have for the building is fell into the cellar. I have a Titan thumb on my backhoe and have been trying to figure out how to get everything out of this Root Cellar so I can build a garage over the top of it and use this 3 foot pit for a pit for mechanic work. this may actually work for the small stuff. After I remove what's left of the building.
Good luck I hope my Proto type lead you to something that will work
Good day.
I saw your video on CZcams and watched it and what I immediately thought was that you better for the gravel in your garden what we here in the Netherlands call a "fine-grained mess" I will try to get a photo of it to do .
but I think your friend should be able to make it for you with, for example, concrete reinforcing steel.
those bins work super well for that.
scrape a bucket with the bucket on the excavator.
just shake the bucket back and forth
and all the ground, sand, grass, etc. fall back on the ground and you keep a bucket with "sieved stones" in the bucket of the excavator.
Kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands.

hollandduck79 I never knew such a bucket existed. I found photos on line and will ask Kenny to build one following your suggestion. Thank you very much. Dank U
Another idea, makr blade a bit taller, drill holes behind it and slip another " shoe" over the blade but cut that piece like a rake. That looks like an ice chopper too for sidewalks and driveways where plow cant push. Round the sides of blade out like () to carve boundary around stumps before digging...maybe use as an ax-chopper for stump roots? He should sell those!
Thank you Steve, I'll share your thoughts with my friend. Have a safe spring.
If you put sides on it work even better
Interesting idea John, and that would be an easy add. Thanks - Bill
Hello, that's a handy tool. I wonder if you had your friend weld some 3 or 4 inch wings on the both sides of the scraper edges would help contain more stones as you're scraping. Sort of like a snowpusher. Anyway I'm enjoying all your videos.
Hello Bob, thanks for commenting I appreciate it. I like your wing idea lets see where that takes us.
backhoe it is a good thing
Bill will you send more measurement on the thickest on arms and blades, Thanks nic vedio
Sure will, I’ll get it to you Friday Nic
Wayne the steel is .52 thick. You may recall I purchased snow plow scraper blades and cut everything to fit. The steel connector to the bucket is .25 thick. Let me know if you need additional information.
Bxpanded makes a quick attachment for the bucket
Hello Mike, I just looked it up, guess I know what Santa's bringing me. Thank you for the information. Bill'
I’ve kinda toyed in my head with the idea of a 2 foot wide landscape rake attachment
I think that's a great idea please post a video if you do. I'll have a video out very soon showing this scraper in practical use.
Just to clarify- you drilled the holes in the side of the bucket, right? Nice video. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that's correct. I used a 5/8" nut and bolt. Thanks for commenting and saying hello
@@billburkhart I just found your channel. I have a 1025r too. Love it... Except I need more lifting capacity and a cab. Got cold and wet moving snow this year.
what size tractor is that? I've been looking to buy one for my landscape projects and am trying to figure out what size to get. Also, how effective is the backhoe for digging and pulling out stumps like old shrubs if you've tried something like that with it?
Hello Happy Spring. This is a 1025 John Deere, I live on 17 acres an it does everything I want with some limitations. Digging trenches to bury conduit, planting trees, seeding new lawns and using the forks to lift for me has been awesome. Digging large stumps is asking a lot of the machine. There are plenty of videos showing it can be done, but it has limitations. I just ordered a 2038 for more HP and more breaking force of the backhoe. Hope this explains the answer is somewhat complicated depending on your budget, and how quickly task must be done.
Bill, I appreciate the insights. I’m looking for a tractor to do some grading, and that I can put a backhoe on to pull shrubs and bushes out on my landscape jobs, and whatever comes around to use it. Tired of using a spade and shovels to do my tear outs. Thought about an excavator but I figure a tractor will be much more versatile. Just wanted to reach out to come owners and see what they had to say before i make a decision and spend the money. Also do you think I could pull a tractor of the size you’ve got, or say a 3038e which is what my dealer pointed me towards with a Ram 1500?
Happy Sunday, my Chevy 1500 pulls 5000 lbs very well. TLB attachments and sod. The tractor is very versatile, yesterday I used the forks as temporary saw horse, you just never run out of ideas on how it can assist you. The 1025 will do everything you you described above. The only regret you'll have is not getting one sooner. Have a great spring.
Bill Burkhart thanks again for the reply. Not that I don’t trust the dealers opinions but I’ve always thought it’s good to get info from them and rely on guys in the field for real life experience and knowledge. I’m going to do a bit more research and looking but hope to buy a tractor soon for my landscape company. Currently I’ve got a Ram 1500 and a dump trailer that I’ll be using to pull it around. I’m hoping having a tractor can make my small company lots more profitable and versatile. It’s a tough decision spending that kind of money but it could open so many doors.
Where did you get the 6" bucket? I have seen one from bxpanded, but its a bit pricey. Nice scraper attachment btw.
Yeah, the smallest I've seen from Deere is a 9"
Hi Don, I made a mistake, the bucket is an 8" bucket, it was $300 at my JD dealer. I use it a lot. Thanks for asking.
I like it. Now build one that is offset so you can cut the grass off (and save it)before digging a trench.
Hi Bob, interesting, are you describing a sod cutter? That would be easy to do.
@@billburkhart yes a sod cutter.
Huh, I look into it, thanks for taking time to comment
Were did you get your blue rench from
Hi Jessy, I got the set of wrenches at Harbor Freight
Is this something I can buy on line some where? I have a Yanmar sa221 . Thanks . Very useful.
Good morning William. I custom built this with an experienced welder here in my town. I have two videos relating to this paddle, I would think if you took the video to a good welder he would be able to follow my design and make you one. I’m not aware of these selling anywhere in the retail world.
If I can be of any further assistance or send you pictures or measurements, please instant message me.
I agree it’s a very handy accessory to have. -Bill
William I was thinking of you when I saw a ditch bucket from Mudds Customs.
Would that work for you? -Bill
@@billburkhart thanks, I have just a standard bucket on . What is Mudds Customs?
That company is here in Iowa and makes backhoe buckets for tractors our size. The ditch bucket they make has no teeth so I thought that may be a way for you to get something that the paddle I made. Google their name and you’ll see what I’m suggesting.
hello, congratulations and can you tell me the thickness of the plates please Thank you
Hello Mario. The steel is .25. Hope this is useful. Happy Easter -Bill
Hi Bill looking to get a scraper blade for my machine. How do you think this blade would do on grubbing out bittersweet vines and other small woody saplings? Thanks Rich
Hi Richard, I don’t know……I’ve used with so many projects but never saplings and vines. I don’t why it would work, do you?
Happy Sunday-Bill
@@billburkhart Thanks Bill appreciate the quick response. I am thinking that I will find out. Going to build one myself thanks for the inspiration. Go
Cowboys
Let me know how it works Richard……go Chiefs😃😃😃😃
Wider, with some ears on the ends to keep the rocks/soils from rolling off the blade. Cool little scraper, but why not use your bucket. Are you going to haul the stone away with your bucket?
I did haul the stone away with my bucket, I just shot a video that will coming out soon and I think you'll agree it's a very handy modification to the bucket. The way it trims and feathers the grass, well you'll have to watch the video when it comes out soon. Thanks for commenting.
Hey Bill. How thick of steel did you use for scraper blade
Hi Jason, I used a 1/2 snow plow cutting edge, that provided me with a tapered edge on one side. Thank you for your comments and saying hello.
@@billburkhart do you know dimensions? I am getting ready to make one. Thanks
@@loghauler3069 Hi Jason, the scraper width is 15 1/4 inches, the height of that face is 6 1/4 inches. The back piece is 8 inches. Over the winter I built a 24 inch wide scraper and it's different in design because I wanted to keep it as light as I could. I'll post that video very soon so you can compare both designs.
Beats a shovel and rake
Butter Bar ... i need to make 1 of these
Hello Rob, I hope I showed you clearly how I made mine, it's really handy! I like your description "butter bar" I may use that
@@billburkhart Hi bill you can buy this tooth bar online as well as others, Butter bar has been around for a while. also known as a crumbling bar
Faço isso mais rápido até de enchada kkkk
Rômulo Weyh agradecimento
I see a sidewalk edger in that thing
Keep the ideas coming Michael
Where did you buy a 6" bucket?
Happy Sunday Jason, I purchased the bucket at my John Deere dealer. About $300. Thanks for the question.
I think that is a 9", isn't it? I have the same bucket. I asked for it when I bought my tractor and they thought I was crazy, but I like it. Good on roots and good for trenching. Digging may take a bit longer, but time on the tractor is fun.
@@suburbantractor9125 Jason- I went out and measured it, outside to outside it measures 7 1/2" inside to inside it measures 6 7/8 So its bigger than 6" but it sure is handy as you point out. Thanks for asking.
@@billburkhart Yes, the same size as mine but I remembered the size wrong, JD calls it an 8". I looked in the catalog and the sizes are 8, 12 and 16 inches. Sorry for the confusion. Jason, BXPanded has a 6" bucket if I recall correctly.
@@suburbantractor9125 I
Jason, I looked at the 6" bucket BXpanded has too. Thanks for making me aware of the mis-information. I'll try and clarify the video.
30 pones bucket is less 30 pones
Get a quick attach coupler
Hi Sean, I hope to one of these days. Thanks for saying hello and taking time to comment.
did i miss something. why did you simply put the scraper on your original bucket????????
Hi Joe, I put the scraper blade on the 8" bucket because it was the easiest to do first. I've since made on for the 12" bucket, that video is coming soon. Good question.
Measure tooth to tooth
Are you asking me to measure it tooth to tooth? Sorry, I don't understand your comment.
Faster with a shovel lol
I would agree with you if I was 30 years younger, but I'm enjoying the benefits of not needing to hand shovel. Thanks for saying hello.c
He did just fine - some people just don’t rush things it’s his time and money who are we to tell him otherwise NICE WORK BILL!!!!!
@@Nicebucket LOL thank you Jim!
just get a ditching bucket it would be much wider
Hello, thanks for your comment, while you're correct I believe this will do the same work with more precision, less money and I I don't have to take the bucket off to exchange features.
Now you need to buy a 3-D printer to make a nylon cover for your scraper so you don't scratch any green paint off your boom. ;)
Dean That’s a good idea
Bets a shovel and wheelbarrow.
Hello Mike, it sure does beat a shovel and wheelbarrow, have a great week and thanks for taking time to comments, I appreciate it. - Bill
Good day.
sorry don't know how to add a photo in the comment.
but if you copy this name " puinbak cw 30 " and search in Google by image then see which excavator bucket I mean.
With kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
(source of translations: Google translate)
Thank you!! I clearly see what your explaining now. I'll have my friend build one and make a video thanking you for the idea. - Bill
Skeleton bucket great idea
add a leaf rake and now we're talkin
I love that idea!
Nice invention! Just a word of caution, I realize your machine is new, but when working around machinery that is suspended in air, it could fall at any moment and injure or kill you! I would suggest blocking the boom and dipper stick so that it could not fall. Remember Murphy’s law. I worked in the coal mining industry and it was company policy, state law, federal law, and common sense to block up any suspended hydraulic booms. Work safe!
Hello Don, you are absolutely correct! I was on a job site and watched a man ride on the forks of a lull , the forks collapsed and he was killed. The reason was never found. I'm in full support of your comments. This was only staged for a photo op. Thanks for reminding me of the dangers of hydraulic failure.

Two words, mud bucket ......
Hello Alex- A mud bucket would be nice to have but I'd have to remove it each time I want to switch bucket functions. This may not be for everyone but I sure enjoy it. Thanks for taking time to comment.
With all due respect, I can do it quicker and cheaper with a shovel.
Hello Alex, I'm happy for you. With a bad shoulder and getting older I'm trying to avoid shovel work. Enjoy your youth!
