@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I have their Sawmill and I'm very pleased with the sawmill. I'm thinking of buying the backhoe to put in a new leech bed for my septic system. I think it will pay for itself on that one job. After that I'll just have it around for little odds and ends. I've always wanted one. I'm sure I could find uses for it. By the way, today I saw a Ford backhoe high-lift tractor for sale on Craigslist for only $1200. He said in the ad that the engine still runs but needs rebuilt. I jumped on it, but was too late. It was already sold. So I'm back to square one again. This little Portable Backhoe is pretty nice though, far more convenient actually. Plus it's all brand new! No high-lift or tractor to go with it though. But still, probably far more practical. I see I just missed a coupon to get it for $2499. It expired at the end of June 2020. I might have to wait for the next coupon offer. I hate to pay $3000 if I can get it for $2500! I just missed that coupon by a couple weeks! I might have bought it last month if I had known that.

Hey again. I have the trencher all working and took it out to my field to practice digging holes. I have to dig holes where I will plant approx 50 trees that are being delivered by a local nursery. I’m learning (slowly) how to dig :). May I ask if you have figured out the proper technique to dig a hole? Let’s say I need to dig a 3’ by 3’ by 3’ hole (for the rootball). Is there a ‘best’ way to attack this? I’ve learned quickly that I can trench rather easily. But going ‘straight down’ is more of a challenge. Any tips would be approved.
@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 3 жыл бұрын
I usually start by digging a bigger hole. If I need 3 x 3 i will start about 6 ft out and trench to the final depth then wiggle it sideways to open it up. You have to be careful where you put the piles because it doesn't have much reach. A big stone can require a massive hole to get out if you run into one. Its a trencher, not a backhoe so it doesn't have the weight to dig straight down. One of the DR ripper fingers like I added can help loosen it up for a smaller hole.

Hey there. Back on the topic of digging tree holes. I do need more practice. But may I ask, as I reach out with the boom and bucket and ‘trench’ back towards me, where can I expect the sweet spot to be where the hole will go deepest, with least effort? I assume it’s not at the farthest reach. It appears to be easier to dig deeper right as the claw gets closer to the trencher. Any advice is really appreciated.

Hi there: well I am quickly figuring out how to dig holes. As you suggested I start by extending the boom out as far as possible them get the claw into the spot where I want to dig. Then I put the boom down which lifts the front of the trencher. I then move the claw away from me which, as I’m much higher in the air, allows the claw to point almost straight down. Then as I start to pull the claw in towards me I start to lower the trencher. I tap, tap, tap the claw towards me as I lower the trencher, also tap tap tapping my way down. At some point the claw is able to break the soil and when it does I lower the trencher to increase my traction and scoop the claw to me. I was able to dig some 6’ by 3’ holes (well, really a deep and wide trench). My neighbors are likely wondering how many bodies I plan to bury :)

Luckily I will only use it in my yard. If I was going to use it on the road, I would replace the axles and hubs with dexters that run true.

I put much wider tires and wheels on mine now and it's over 6 1/2ft wide but you can pull the pins and slide them in to about 5 ft for storage. I don't know what it was stock. Contact Harbor freight. Thanks for watching.

I've been using the trencher for about a week and the weirdest thing started to happen. When I extend the boom it starts to slowly lower by itself. I didn't see any hydrophilic leaks. Any idea what might be happening?

Mine has always done that that. Cheap cylinders and valve body that don't make perfect seals. leave it.sit for i5 minutes and everything droops. Operates fine under pressure though. Contact harbor freight and see if there is anything they will do since it's new and under warranty.
