Backhoe grabber
by John
OK. so this is a photo of a gadget which I made few years ago. It is a mechanical grabber which bolts onto a backhoe arm and bucket. Seen here picking up a 5 meter I beam which must weigh 200-300 kgs.
The grabber is very useful for picking up heavy, big, prickly, dirty, rubbish and other farm stuff. Good for grabbing fence posts and pulling them out of the ground.
I wish I could say that I invented the idea, but alas….

I have an 87 3CX – Good to see someone else loves their old machine. Rebuilt the cab, overhauled the engine, replaced most hoses, new starter, paint job – runs great. Wouldn’t be without it
