A machine that size/style is on my bucket list so you could say I'm jealous! Big congrats, she looks like a keeper

Thanks guys!

The trailer does seem a little undersized. I'd like to find a heavier one someday.

It's amazing how many people come up with projects they want done when you have a backhoe.

Owning a backhoe is like winning the lottery, you'll have all sorts of new friends.

How have I gotten by without a loader all these years? I built a set of bucket forks that make the loader even handier. I added a toolbox made from a .50 cal ammo can and made a rear ballast that weighs 4-500 lbs.

Looks great! I bet the forks come in handier than the bucket.

Added 4 LED lights to the ROPS for night time work. Put on some 50lb wheel weights and added a charge port for my battery charger/ maintainer.

Thanks Tim. They are extremely handy.

The trailer ended up being a lost cause. Upon further inspection, the leaf springs were cracked on the right side and the frame had several cracks and rust holes. I introduced my sawzall to it.

I haven’t used the backhoe much but I built a dolly for it.

That rear weight is the kind of common sense engineering that is lost on our youth of today. Not that there aren't some bright kids out there, just not as many as those of us that grew up without electronic everything!

Mighty good idea! A tractor like that is on my bucket list for sure!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
