I plan to build a backhoe for my New Holland TC25D and I am in the information gathering stage right now. I have checked the web for plans, but I am not very impressed with what I found; mostly tow behind models (or 3-pt hitch models) that don't look very rugged and dont' offer the capability of the factory models. Any thoughts or feedback here would be appreciated as well.<br>
<br>
I don't know if I should run off of the tractor hydraulics or if I should buy a pump and attach it to the rear pto. Any thoughts? I guess there are pros and cons to each, right? Does anybody know how and where to hook up such an implement to the tractor hydraulics?<br>
<br>
I actually planned on going to my local dealer one day after hours and measuring the factory hoes to make my own set of rough plans. That way, all of the angles, distances, and engineering have been done for me already.<br>
<br>
Anybody know of a place where I can get cheap good quality hydraulic cylinders? Ones with available replacement parts would be great as well.<br>
<br>
Has anyone taken on such a project? If figure I can save some money as a new BH is roughly $4500-$6000. I was toying around with buying a used one and reconditioning it, but they are still around $3500 and up.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
