Good day all.

[@DevaultFamilyLiving]

I use the backhoe on my 25hp TYM way more then I ever thought. With a lot of clay content in our soil it is much easier to break it up with the backhoe bucket first and then scoop it with the loader bucket when it is really hard. I am sure you will find more uses for it then you ever thought. I know I have. Also maybe keep a small log under the backhoe when in storage to help keep it up off the ground after it bleeds down.

[@TKCL]

I'll do that.

[@brianhillis3701]

Try putting your bucket down prior to using your backhoe. At 5:40 you can see the tractor move. The bucket provides more stability and friction. Starting to change my mind on the solis. Really want to know about ultimate fate and cost of new battery and battery disposal.

[@TKCL]

Bucket was down while digging, I thought I mentioned that in the video. What I need to do is dig the cutting edge in for more grip. That backhoe has a surprising amount of power.

[@GaHullbillyRanch]

Andrew that tractor seems to have an extra smooth hydraulic system.

[@TKCL]

It really is smooth.

[@teveler]

Hope you guys are alright after the hurricane. I would be curious to see how that backhoe does in roots. I do not expect it to tear through 1 inch oak roots. However, even some 1/2 roots can be a bear.

[@ifger]

Thats unreal! excited for the ag unit reviews!

[@grabbingbass744]

Enjoy the information provided. I am on the fence in getting one of these. You hear bad reviews on transmissions ,slop in axles, and minimal hours. Here in Canada they have the tractor on for $28700 includes the backhoe. Compared to a kioti cs2200 that's $40k and ck2510 $47k. John Deere similar 1025. I worry about resale and longevity. But the price is great. Did you have much of same issue picking this one, or is it a sponsored unit?

[@TKCL]

This is sponsored, but I assure you that I'm honest with my viewers. I've experienced no mechanical issues and I'm extremely impressed with what this is capable of. With that said I've only put around 30 hours on it, but I'll continue to work it hard. I've been putting a lot of videos out on this seeing what it's capable of. I know someone else with this same tractor, they've had theirs about a year and have mentioned no mechanical issues either.

[@grabbingbass744]

@TKCL so I went and looked at the Solis H24. It is a nice-looking tractor, but I had some concerns. The one new one I looked at had corrosion on the shift levers running and inch down from knob and the bucket had paint chipping and rust the size of a baseball. So I looked at two more next to this one same issue. I spoke to the salesman, who said all the tractors out in lot will have Rust. They sell TYM and LS. The backhoe is only 3 point attached, not length of frame. I asked questions that the salesman had no clue on, which does not give me comfort. It's sad that I am leaning toward a used John Deere but the uneasyness with the metal used and dealer selling makes me concerned.

[@TKCL]

I understand wanting good dealer support. You mentioned the backhoe not being full frame, that's odd because mine does have a full under frame mount.

[@grabbingbass744]

@TKCL Yes, these are a backhoe not from Solis that they are selling. I just realized these Solis are basically Summit tractors . Made at same location.

[@TKCL]

Actually Solis/ITL makes Summit tractors.

Dont you want to put the backhoe on a block of wood or something so it doesnt sag in case there is a leak in the lines that it has?

It does sag, no worries though. Lines are long enough to hook back up and raise where you need it to be for hookup. With that said a 6x6 or 8x8 underneath isn't a bad idea to keep it out of the dirt.
