Harbor Freight backhoe digs another rock from the lawn

This is a stock backhoe running at half throttle.

That’s actually pretty darn impressive

[@jeffharper7579]

Yes it is. If I would have that small of a machine I would have moved a couple of feet closer just for more leverage but DANG that was a good size rock,I wish I had a thumb on my excavator.

[@OffroadLogger]

Uhm, that is impressive. Not sure what to be more impressed about, the frame holding up or the power of the hydraulics :)

[@brianh2324]

I have to say these little machines are quite impressive. I have dug up some big rocks and even bigger stumps, yes they are slow but they do the job. For what you would pay someone to do just one job on your land you could own one of these and do all your projects. I love mine and it has paid for itself. Happy digging

[@DoubleMFarmHomestead]

Well done Dennis! That's about the biggest one I've seen done yet! I've dug some big ones with mine, but I think you have first place.😁

[@mountainviewdroneman]

Thanks, but I've dug up larger since that one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mImnk416ZbuYl7csi=iJ88wwIy3s9mY2M7

Once you grab that big rock move the machine closer while still holding the rock it increases the lifting leverage.

Fun Video! Leaving the backhoe hitched to a vehicle, would help keep the back down.

[@mountainviewdroneman]

Good idea, but... I've already tried that trick. It severely limits your mobility. You have to get off everytime you wish to move forward or backwards or even side to side.

[@v1antbo]

Dig a deeper hole and push it in.

[@mountainviewdroneman]

haha I live in Stone County Arkansas. All that would accomplish would be to uncover many more rocks. As the dirt settles, more rocks appear on the surface. It's ok tho... gives me a reason to play on my toys ;-)

[@wg7644]

Wow - what did that weigh?

[@mountainviewdroneman]

I'm sorry, but I have no way of knowing. I would also like to know 😊

[@DenisDenis-iv9bo]

Интересно, какой вес в этом камне?

[@mountainviewdroneman]

English English Каменщик измерил и подсчитал, что он весит около 1800 фунтов США.

[@Darfur64]

I woulda come by with my backhoe for a few hundred bucks and cleared all the rocks you wanted out of your yard. Glad you got it yourself but dang, woulda been cheaper to hire someone.

[@Fireballsocal]

Here in SoCal, you couldn't get anyone to come by for less than $500. That machine wouldn't be my choice but it gets the job he needed done.

[@mountainviewdroneman]

I really doubt that ! You surely haven't been to Arkansas in Stone County. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIq7ZJ2sbaypgpIsi=25rJpnsKL7yt4wsw

He's probably retired.
