=Status=
 
There was a version of the backhoe for the LifeTrac 1. In 2012, OSE started a redesign. The new backhoe will have an increased range of motion and use the Bobcat quick attach standard to attach to the LifeTrac 6.
 
 
=Redesign Status=
For Oct 2013 work:
* [[Dan Log]], [[Cody Log]], and [[Marcin Log]].
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArpE5Y9PpJCXdGJWeWpsY05jRDVlcGFXangyYlo2Y1E#gid=1 Development Board]
* The main open issue is redesigning the main pivot so that we have somewhere to mount the hydraulics to get as close to 180 degrees of side to side movement.
* Another known task is adding bushings to all 1" pivots since they have too much slack.
 
For the 2012 work (most of which is still being used):
* [[Lenny-Wayne]] as as [[Guest Collaborative Production Director]] was working on the [[GrabCAD Backhoe Redesign for Fabrication]] with [[Aaron]] as project manager.
* [[Brian Log]].
* [[Backhoe Log]].

=Designs=
 
* Oct 2013 redesign is using [[File:Backhoe deep dig.skp]].
* This is probably the previous version: [https://github.com/Amakaruk/OSEBackhoe Backhoe Github Repository]. We'll update this after the Oct 2013 redesign.
* Prototype 2: [[File:backhoevari.zip]]. You'll need the [http://www.varicad.com/en/home/products/products/ VariCAD viewer]. To manipulate the 3D object, press 'Ctrl+Shift+C' and left-click to move it around in 3D.
 
=Existing Designs=
 
* [http://www.oilyhands.co.uk/Build_your_own_digger.htm Oily Hands has a huge list of diggers people have built themselves]
* [http://www.jd40.com/digger/backhoeproject1.htm this guy has a fully documented build process for his]
* [http://www.ubuilditplans.com/webpage4_page3.htm#Backhoe Ubuildit Plans] has a backhoe design that's about as simple as one can possibly get.
