Skid Steer Backhoe Attachments
The skid steer backhoe attachment is most commonly used for applications such as digging trenches, demolition work, transportation of light building materials and equipment, digging up old pavement, and other excavation jobs.
This heavy duty unit will hook up to any universal mounted skid steer loader or compact track loaders, offering the versatility of a mini excavator at a fraction of the cost.
What You Need To Know Before Purchasing A Backhoe Attachment
The Rigid Backhoe attachment for your skid steer loader is a great tool for construction, landscaping, farming and more. When looking to add this powerful attachment to your arsenal, several factors deserve careful consideration. Understanding the biggest cylinder size, maximum digging depth, and cylinder attachment points is crucial for optimal performance in various soil conditions.
The cylinder serves as the power unit behind the digging force of the skid steer backhoe. The operating weight and power of your machine should match the cylinder size - the bigger the cylinder, the better the digging force. This requires a perfect balance of engineering strength between the arm of the unit, the pivot points, the bucket, and the cylinder. While a larger cylinder provides more power, going too large will compromise the equipment, and going too small won't provide enough strength to dig in challenging soil conditions like rocky or clay terrain.
Digging depth should be a primary concern when selecting your skid steer backhoe attachment. While a full size backhoe might offer greater depth, our optimal digging depth of 7 feet allows operators to dig below the frost line in most cold climates while maintaining the maneuverability of your skid steer loader. This makes it perfect for both residential and commercial applications.
Pay close attention to how the cylinder connects to the bucket. Direct cylinder-to-bucket attachment significantly reduces breakout force, which is essential for this attachment. When the cylinder attaches to a pivot point before connecting to the bucket, it provides the backhoe with maximum breakout force, crucial for tackling tough soil conditions.
