Loved it. I have a Kubota B3300SU with a BH 77 backhoe. I usually use it for trenching, digging out small stumps, and minor construction. It is a lot of fun and can be a real challenge. I was helping a buddy do the dirt work for a new garage / workshop. Big job for my small backhoe but, as you pointed out, larger equipment would not have been able to get into the smaller areas. My friends house was built in 1856 and he has done considerable restoration. It is a marvelous old house but, as was common in those times the yard is very narrow. It is also built into a fairly steep hill. Part of the one of the walls was buried about 5 feet. It took us a month working 4 hours a day to get everything completed. A lot of this was our inexperience causing us to redo parts we had already finished. We did find a lot of limestone building rocks, old bottles, old chunks of mortar,… that had been used in old out buildings and later used as fill. Like I said fun, challenging, and educational.

Tim, here is a suggestion from an old loader operator. When digging with the bucket jiggle your bucket back and forth as you move forward and as you lift. You will have an easier time.

@keithrayeski31472 жыл бұрын
One technique I learned, and saw you do one time, is using your backhoe bucket to push the waste pile back as you dump. It keeps the pile from getting too high to dump over. One of the advantages of the Kioti is that the backhoe has an independent seat for just the reason you demonstrated. It’s more wear and tear lifting, turning and lowering every time you need to change functions. The subframe mount is also a great feature for the backhoe. I gather you folks fortunately do not have drain pipes around your foundation? In the northeast we do…even if we’re not in a flood zone. I’ve never quite understood why a backhoe is as standard as a loader on a tractor. I couldn’t imagine not having one! Great video and great backhoe work!!!

Salesman told me it would be perfect at there shouldn’t be much need to go larger for now cause this thing would surprise me, both the tractor and the backhoe. After finding your channel today and watching a few vids, which are very informative and cool btw, yes I subscribed I think my mind is made up. This 1025r is the tractor for me to at least start with knowing I can always go bigger down the road. Thanks for helping me make my mind up and keep the content coming! One thing you said that helped me come to terms is ease of getting this tractor into a backyard because I’ve got quite a few projects coming up this year where fence gates will be an issue but apparently not with this tractor.

My seat rod has broke twice. the last time I took it in they replaced it with a different design, and so far this rod hasn't broke. I'm having trouble with my backhoe now. It loses pressure in the dipper cylinder every so often randomly, and it will act like it has air in it. No visible leaks, but it keeps doing it. Had it into the dealer twice now, and both times they told me they can't make it do it, therefore there's nothing wrong with it. Not very happy, I'll probably be calling john deere and asking them why their technicians can't fix the problem before my warranty runs out.

You gotta get a fabricator to make you a bucket blade: drill four holes in your bucket, or, two and have a lip on the blade. The blade or sweeper is a flat piece of steel as wide as you want it...and you hang-the-clip and bolt it on, and you can sweep dirt/gravel out of a pit like that. You can make it so its on the bottom of the bucket so as you have the teeth straight down, the blade is vertical. That, or, get a Casey and do it parallel to the foundation :)

As hard as the ground was the 16" bucket may have called on Johnny's manhood and see if he had enough guts to gitter done. It is a balance and a trade off. I would recommend to the finance dept, consider purchasing a larger bucket, maybe from the used market even. How hard is it to get the pins out and remove the bucket? Idea: If there was an attachment to fit over the front bucket teeth so it could be more of a scupper than digger when needed like this where you were up against the foundation. Enjoyed the video

maybe a 2032 would probably be the largest tractor size you could use.

Yep, soon after this video.

Seen a few of your videos now and can't understand why your persevere with this little tractor when a 2.5 or 3 ton machine would be a far better choice for the work you do I can't see how this is profitable or are you just doing this as a hobby?

Well, we got a larger bucket just after this project. We find this unit quite effective for city yards with small gates. Having said that, yes, this is a part time thing for us. I am a software engineer. Check out some of our newer videos, this one is 2+ years old. We now have a couple of sponsored units which help with our work.

You just need a wider backhoe bucket to cleanup better.

A excavator on tracks would have done that no problem as well there tons out there to pick from plus they would go through the gate no problem and they would have done it faster.

+steven clark yes, but they don't do a very good job of mowing my yard, or tilling my garden. With our new wider bucket, the tractor can dig much faster. See our latest video for an example. Oh, and we would love to have a mini-ex.

A compact or subcompact tractor is a good multipurpose machine. It's not the best at anything but it can do a lot of jobs. Unless you're a professional a mini excavator would be a huge investment with very little use. I agree with the small tractor having access where larger ones can't go but I have seen you doing jobs with that little guy that are too big for him.

We have a 5320 at the golf course I work at, a little bigger than this but not much. We use the loader quite a bit, but rarely if ever the backhoe. We don't have many tasks that ever need it, it mostly just serves as a counterweight on the loader...

Why isn't there any backhoes made now that will dig 10" for tractors?? (other than the $200,000. commercial ones??) I had a mid size Massy Ferguson Probably made in the 80's some where between 28-32HP I bought used and the guy said it would dig 10' so I took it to my property and it dug 10'11" hole easy and was great until I had to go in the hospital and someone came and stole everything off my property including my tractor... Now I still need a Tractor, but can't find one that can dig 10+ft... I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to put in 2 1000gal tanks or 1 2000gal, but I need to dig at least 4 feet below the frost line of 4 ft so I need to dig like 2 ft under that to put in the crushed rock and then sand to place the tank on... So if you know of someone that makes a backhoe to fit on a tractor and can be removed easy so I can put other things on it... Please let me know... If there a backhoe maker out there, PLEASE START TO MAKE THEM!!! I don't want to have to get a 100HP tractor I need something I can trailer...
