Very good job I get my tractor next week and I'm going to do the exact same thing thank you for this great video

@Curtis1824 2 года назад

Glad I could help out! One change I found to make that I haven’t done yet is to drill a hole in the plate to help with suction in mud. They want to get stuck sometimes.

You’ve got true skill sets!! I really enjoyed this. Welding is my weakness!!😖😁 beautiful build and I’m gonna take a crack at this one!! Thanks!!

@Curtis1824 2 года назад

Thanks, Keith! It's always a fun project when the welder is involved!

@keithrayeski6417 Год назад

For some reason, RU-vid is repurposing these older episodes…still, nice to have them pop up in my notifications!!

@alittlebitofeverything5090 Год назад

Those are awesome! I went to the dealer a couple days ago and noticed something similar on the new Kioti backhoes. Not sure how much they are, but I bet your fabrication was cheaper.

@Curtis1824 Год назад

Thanks! They were a fun build and have really helped with stabilization!

@rayrivera3374 2 года назад

Great video, the stabilizers come out really nice and rugged. You might have to market those bad boys. I’m sure you are not the only one with stability issues. Liked and sub.

@Curtis1824 2 года назад

Thanks Ray! There are a few, what look like Chinese made, stabilizers out there now. Just not quite beefy enough for what I was wanting. They definitely give it some extra grip!

@BobbeeSingh Год назад

2 questions 1. What rpm do you use for backhoe? I do realize it depends on tractor power but I'm curious 2. Do you constantly have to push down outriggers when working the backhoe?

@Curtis1824 Год назад

I use mine around 2,000 or 2,500 I would say. Same power as lower RPM but it moves faster. I find that once the outriggers are down I don’t really have to adjust them much.

@rampanttricky17 11 месяцев назад

For less noise and more control (slower movement) while digging very rocky Maine soil I have left my tractor at 1000 to 1800 rpm and I also didn't notice a backhoe power drop, but it did lead to more DPF cycles i suspect. for the first 2 years I think i had either 1 or zero DFP cycles and I have had 2 just this summer while using the backhoe a lot. 2) if you need to adjust them down frequently you might want to look for a pressure leak(?) or you are just more observant than I am.

@BobbeeSingh 11 месяцев назад

@rampanttricky17 someone said that the outriggers are not meant to hold up the tractor but are there to act as stabilizers. Not sure how much of that is correct.

@AZOFFGRID Год назад

Nice outrigger pads. Too bad you couldn't mass produce them for the rest of us and make some profit. I'd pay you for them. Keep up the good work my friend.

Where did you get your steel plate?

@Curtis1824 11 месяцев назад

Surprisingly I got it at Lowes or Home Depot. I don’t remember which.

@newhampshire-bob1604 2 года назад

Nice! Looks like you missed a weld on one of the center fins. Did you go to welding school to learn how to weld?

@Curtis1824 2 года назад

Thanks! I realized that too when I was editing the video. Missed two. I’ll get them when I take them off to paint this spring. No school or anything, just pick up on stuff and learn as I go by doing and seeing others weld. I know enough to get the metal to stick together and that’s about it.

@newhampshire-bob1604 2 года назад

@@Curtis1824 Cool! I got the chance to use the tractor this weekend to clear the snow from the driveway! Took about 15 minutes, compared to an hour snow blowing or three hours shoveling! Can’t wait for Spring!

@@newhampshire-bob1604 fantastic! Nice when the equipment saves you time and your back!
