Status
In 2012, OSE started the Backhoe 2 (Deep Dig) redesign. In Oct 2013 we're finishing the redesign and doing a new build, docs, etc.
Design Boards
Requirements
The goals of the backhoe 2 are:
- to have an increased range of motion,
- to use the standard Warehouse parts as much as possible, and
- to use the Bobcat Standard Quick Attach to attach to the LifeTrac 6.
Designs
The main model for the backhoe 2 is File:Backhoe deep dig.skp.
Here are some other designs for inspiration or experimenting:
- OSE Side by side hydraulic design based on small ditch witch design. File:Backhoe sidebyside2.skp
- Oily Hands has a huge list of diggers people have built themselves
- this guy has a fully documented build process for his
- Ubuildit Plans has a backhoe design that's about as simple as one can possibly get.
- Pivot rotation using scissor motion and 14" cylinder File:Backhoe sidebyside8.skp.
- Other versions of the Backhoe.
- GrabCAD Backhoe Redesign for Fabrication.
