P.F. Engineering Do It Yourself Plans: Backhoes and Front End Loaders

Serving do-it-yourself loader and backhoe builders for 10 years!

P.F. Engineering specializes in Backhoe plans and Front End Loader plans developed for use on garden tractors and compact tractors. The loaders and backhoes illustrated here are the perfect tools for the care and maintenance of your property and landscaping. Light and powerful, they are great for those hard to get at locations where a larger machine won't fit and are able to travel over lawn and landscaped areas with minimum ground compaction and surface damage.

Our customers have been using their loaders to carry mulch, transfer stone and topsoil, clean out their barns, remove snow, and to lift and load heavy objects of all sorts onto their pick up trucks and trailers.

Likewise, the Micro Hoe can be used to dig trenches for electrical and water lines, irrigation and drainage systems, planting bushes and trees and for digging small ponds and water features, to name just a few of it's possible uses.

If you would like to build your own loader or backhoe, you've come to the right place. our CAD designs are professionally drawn, do-it-yourself friendly and priced right for your construction budget.
