I seen that out at Johnson Machinery a couple of years ago. Seems like someone thought it was a good idea. They also had a water wagon and a small beegee to pull with the 446 "prime mover"

I looked at the cost, and figured for the price, you could buy a used 613 and water truck, with enough left over to still buy a used backhoe. Then you would have all your bases covered with the proper machines, instead of this frankenscraper idea.

Someone must have had a need for it I guess. I am curious what make and model of scraper it is behind it in the second pic.

That pic is at Ritchie Brothers in Perris CA. Next to it is a JD 762 or 862.
To the left of the pic, in the row ahead is one of many 657E's in the sale.
Lots of them, mostly good ones too, and they will be cheap.

Id like to have one of those Fox out fits to build small ponds and house places. I know a man that ran one up north and he swore by the little fellow for dress up and house sites. I think Fox is now out of business. They made landscape loaders with Cat componets to.
