You've got some funny lookin dogs.

[@patrickm9831]

Just subscribed, cant wait for the pintle hitch video. Very curious

[@thegxpguy]

Yes could I bother you to make a video showing the front boom towing? I am interested to see that

[@JoeGator23]

Silly question, but why didn't you simply add a removable hitch to the bucket? If you are staying on your property, wouldn't this be an easier and cheaper solution?

[@Poppy_love59]

Never did do that video on the Pintle hitch boom did you ?

[@yukonica4560]

Definitely subbed. I'm like Patrickm9831... I am waiting patiently for your pintle option video. I bought a machine to work my 10 hectare property. Moving it is my number one hassle. My Canadian sourced towable is from the same factory Betstco uses so there are minor differences from your descriptions but your ideas are top shelf. The pump replacement video really caught my attention. Harbour appears to offer either 9 or 14 hp motors. Is your machine a 9 or a 14 motor? ~ mine is 9. One big difference between our machines; mine is plumbed for a third circuit if I wanted to install a hydraulic thumb. Currently I don't see the need/value for a newbie like myself.

[@stickwallfarm]

Thanks for subbing - appreciate it. It is a 9hp motor. Wish it was plumbed with a third circuit!

No boom hitch link in the description...

Nice Job!!!

[@paristo]

Should add the extra wheels storage slots to the front support legs, that you don't need to even carry them anywhere else than just place to side.

[@williamhanna5224]

Excellent !

[@idahopotato5837]

Your links are to 4 bolt X 4" hubs and then 5 lug wheels.

[@rickknapp5796]

Here's a link to 4 lug wheels. I had the same confusion.

[@rret6885]

any chance? doesn't have to be a polished video. this: pintle hitch video

[@mikefiatx19]

You should add electric bike hub motors and just drive the backhoe around.

[@buildingtrades7070]

Does not make sense, you still need to take them off. use existing slots and round tube. You will not have to remove again.

[@stickwallfarm]

I did round tube at first. Too much play - all the stress was on the pin/holes and they warped.

[@hectorchomat]

I sent her an email letting her know that there are few of us were waiting for her solution to the pintle hitch. She responded that has to wait till ground defrost to bring out the backhoe trencher

[@rret6885]

can you show a pic on google drive(?) on where you welded your tubing to the HF tubing? hard to tell from the video. thank you!
