for more information and specifications.

the loader on this John Deere 318 was built by students at the Montachusset Vocational School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts

the loader hydraulics on this tractor are running off the on-board hydraulic system which puts out 3.3 Gallons Per Minute at 850 to 975 PSI.

a group photo with the finished product, definitely a project they can be proud of!

Glenn R. in Nepean, Ontario, Canada built this Micro Hoe for his Bolens HT-20

these pics show how the Backhoe frame can be mounted very close to the back of the tractor with the large square tubing members providing ample opportunities for welding on just about any configuration mounting flanges for solid mount or 3 point hitch

a beautiful background for a great looking machine
