A skid steer backhoe attachment is an accessory for a skid steer loader that transforms it into a powerful digging and excavating machine. It features a digging bucket mounted on a hydraulic arm connected to the front of the loader, allowing for efficient excavation of soil and other materials. This attachment is widely used in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and other industries where digging is necessary. It is especially beneficial for smaller jobs where a larger excavator isn't practical or cost-effective, enhancing the versatility and utility of the skid steer loader.

The Skid Pro backhoe attachment for skid steer loaders features an operating weight of 669 pounds with an 18-inch bucket. It boasts a 20-inch cylinder stroke and a 14-foot linkage height, ensuring efficient digging and maneuverability. At full extension, the attachment reaches a depth of 8 feet. This robust backhoe attachment is designed for heavy-duty tasks, providing enhanced stability and versatility for construction, landscaping, and excavation projects.

We offer three versatile bucket sizes to accommodate various tasks: 12-inch, 18-inch, and 24-inch buckets. These sizes are designed to fit a range of skid steer models, providing optimal performance for different excavation, grading, and material handling projects. Whether you are working on landscaping, fencing, or general earth-moving tasks, our buckets are engineered for durability and efficiency.

A skid loader backhoe attachment allows you to dig to depths of approximately 8 feet, depending on the model and soil conditions. These attachments are designed for efficiency in various tasks, from landscaping to light excavation, offering both reach and power.

A skid steer backhoe attachment is designed to expand the capabilities of a skid steer loader. It can perform various tasks, including digging trenches, excavating holes for foundations or utilities, and lifting heavy materials such as rocks and debris. It is also effective for grading, landscaping, and even light demolition. The backhoe’s hydraulic capabilities allow it to handle both precision digging and bulk excavation with ease. Depending on the attachment model, it can be used for tasks in tight spaces where traditional excavators may not fit, making it especially useful in residential construction, landscaping, and utility work.

No, the skid steer backhoe attachment is not universally compatible with all skid steers. Compatibility depends on the size, weight, and attachment mounting system of the skid steer. Most modern skid steers have a standardized mounting system, but it’s important to confirm that the backhoe attachment is specifically designed to fit your skid steer model. Always consult the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure proper compatibility before purchasing an attachment. Some skid steers may require additional hydraulic hook-ups to fully integrate the backhoe attachment's functions.

The lifting capacity of a skid steer backhoe attachment varies based on the specific model and skid steer loader used. On average, a skid steer backhoes can lift between 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. However, this can differ based on the arm's reach, hydraulics, and the skid steer’s overall capacity. The weight of materials that can be lifted depends on the backhoe's design and the loader's lift rating. For more accurate information, it's essential to refer to the manufacturer's specifications of the skid steer and the backhoe attachment to ensure safe and efficient operation.
