wallfish 16,971 #1 Posted May 17, 2015 Part of the "Honey Do" list was to remove a large 12ft Forsythia bush. Dug a trench around it and chained it up to the loader bucket. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alswagg 128 #11 Posted May 18, 2015 I ran my loader/backhoe alot this weekend also, moved 20 yards of fill dirt and several large logs. Do you have a hydraulic tonge for your backhoe? Wish I did, could have used to grab alot of things. Nice job. Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,971 #12 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) There is no tongue/thumb. I was going to build a stationary thumb and use pins to hold it for easy removal but never got around to it.I was also going to build a hydraulic extension so the bucket could slide out farther but never got around to that either.It's surprising the the hoe itself ever got finished!
