Great work Ben and Students....I heard you say u made a cardboard template and I had to think...Ben going to build him a thumb for his ole backhoe LOL....I Would! Also the Grader blade teeth are sweet idea...you could build a holder for them to hold them up when you dont need them and just never take them off...There used to be a company make a grader blade with teeth mounted behind the blade. each tooth was seperate like a box blade shank in a tube, and you could just let them down with a pin that way you could pick how many teeth you wanted down and up and how deep they were.....I like what you did just as well or better.....I noticed you put a tab on the rear of the blade too...I presume thats for the drag, too smooth it out........I really like that idea, and now I know what to do with my old ever growing RR Spike collection LOL...Great Ideas here

[@khtractors]

Thank you very much!!

[@bradphillips1588]

Awesome. I built a thumb similar to this for my 1025r backhoe. It’s super handy for holding logs off the ground when cutting firewood.

[@khtractors]

Yes that’s what he plans to use this for primarily. Thanks for watching!!

[@MitchellPack-zw4vu]

That’s an awesome job, I especially liked the ripper and the way that it will be backed by the actual blade, great idea

[@khtractors]

Glad you like it! Thanks

Heck yea that’s awesome.

@@khtractors hey did you get another tractor?? And I’ve been trying to figure out if you now have the Massey back that I thought you sold to a neighbor?? So you now have the Kubota Farmall Massey And possibly something new judging by that community post you put up. Hopefully it’s another new tractor. But I do think you would be crazy to let any of them go especially the Kubota. The way you run/maintain it you are not even a quarter of the way through its service life.

[@coalminersdaughter]

Very cool

[@khtractors]

Thank you!

[@deanwright9167]

Give it some hydrolics

[@khtractors]

If it had an extra remote valve we would have.

Not really. The backhoe belongs to our principal. Thanks for watching
