I live in southern Alberta, Canada. I had Jansen USA ship the purchased backhoe to a Montana shipping warehouse. It was stored there until I drove down with a trailer to pick it up. Three warehouse lads and a dollie helped me lift the large wooden box it comes in into the trailer. At the Canadian customs crossing the officers charged me GST on the purchase price (remember to take your payment receipt with you). Other Canadian provinces will charge PST as well. There was no foreign duty.

This machine is a workhorse. I bought it to renovate an old road on my property; however, once the backhoe was operational I found all sorts of other jobs for it to do including crudely leveling my back yard for a brick patio, creating a ramp to the front door, and digging out a compost pit. It has also been towed to a friend’s garden to do work there. I bought the unit in March 2020 (just before the border closed) and it has been heavily used during the months the ground wasn’t frozen. It is now November 2021 and I am finishing up the old road. If the backhoe is moving itself forward I sit on the seat to drive it. When doing a stationary job, such as filling wheelbarrows, I often stand beside the seat and operate it from the side. When working in the hot sun, I attached a flexible camp chair umbrella to the backhoe seat for shade. I made wooden shoes for the foot spikes when walking the machine across my asphalt driveway.

The machine has been used a lot and I have had to replace a few nuts and an hydraulic hose as they wore out. They were a standard size and easy to find at the local hardware store. Important points to remember are to replace the hydraulic fluid periodically and lubricate moving parts, as suggested in the manual.

�����I found plans for a towable backhoe on the internet and modified it,� says Kincaid. �I wanted one that was self-propelled, but could get into tight spots and wouldn�t require a trailer.�

����Kincaid based his backhoe boom on plans from www.thegreensmachines.com. He used 1/4-in. steel plate for flat stock and 0.188 thick, 2 1/2-in. square tubing for the boom arms and chassis. The bucket is 7 in. wide with teeth cut from leaf springs. Kincaid bought the metal and had it cut and sheared locally.

����The motor sits on an I-shaped chassis made from 2 1/2-in. tubing with 1/4-in. plate gussets. A set of hydraulic drive wheels is mounted at either end. Two vertical tubes are mounted to the rear of the chassis. The forward one serves as a mount for control valves while the one to the rear is a mount for a removable seat.

����At the front of the chassis, the boom and its hydraulic cylinder are mounted to a yoke and swivel plate fabricated from 4 pieces of 3 by 5-in., 1/2-in. thick angle iron.

����A hydraulic cylinder extends from the chassis center frame to an offset mount on the swivel plate, swinging the boom to the left or right. Another short cylinder mounted to the front of the chassis raises and lowers a short blade he picked up at a garage sale. It works in lieu of outriggers.

�����A 5 hp Honda with a love joint to a 2 gpm hydraulic pump supplies power to the backhoe valve body and the drive wheels,� says Kincaid. �The wheels on each side run in series, so fluid goes to the first wheel and then to the second and then to the valve. It�s like a liquid chain.�

����Kincaid considered building a small trailer to tow the backhoe to job sites. Instead he decided to mount it on the front end of his truck. He extended the frame about 3 ft., providing more than enough space for the 32-in. wide backhoe.

����Kincaid estimates it took him 6 mo. to build the machine, initially with 2-WD. It took another week to make it 4-WD. Plans, steel, hydraulic hoses, cylinders, engine and other components totaled about $4,000.
