Default anyone built a FEL & backhoe for a 782
Searched site but got no hits on it. Just got a 782 and would like to fabricate a FEL and a small if not mini backhoe for my 782. I would like to start collecting all parts that are required, as I have a buddy that is a iron worker. I'm aware of PF engineering and am planning on ordering his plans when the money is there to complete the project. Would like to know what metal/steel I would need along with hydro pumps,cylinders and hoses.
thanks guys

Never saw them in stores, just checked their site but for 3500.00 I think its way overprice. You can get a little mini for around 4-5k. If I was to build a backhoe I would go as small as possible, maybe like a 3ft digging depth. Hate my CLAY soil in the summer makes my back hurt planting around backyard.

Default CADplans FEL
I bought Cadplans FEL book and built one. It was well written and he was always ready to talk on the phone if needed. You can't go wrong with his book.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
