Quick Guide to the Bobcat Backhoe Attachment

What is a Bobcat Backhoe Attachment?

Easily convert your Bobcat skid steer or track loader into a powerful excavator when and where you need it with a Bobcat backhoe attachment. Comprised of a digging bucket and articulated arm, simply add excavator-like digging functionality to a loader-style machine. Compatible with common machines including the skid steer loader, track loader, and mini track loader, operators can quickly swap on this part-time attachment to knock out full-time excavating jobs with minimal downtime.

Contact our sales representatives to learn more about the specs and pricing.


When to Use a Bobcat Backhoe Attachment?

The Bobcat Backhoe attachment is ideal in jobs involving landscaping and nursery work, sewage systems and septic tanks, and water or power lines. Optimal for working in sensitive areas, its minimal ground disturbance makes it adaptable across many applications. Along with its great power, utilize your machine in demanding jobs from construction and road work to landscaping and utilities.

Thanks to its detachable nature, the backhoe is easy to transport and simple to service. Operators benefit from great down-hole visibility, powerful performance, and Bob-Tatch mounting system which makes changing attachments fast and simple. Digging depths range from 6 to 11 ft, and bucket widths come from 9 to 39 inches, which ensure you get the best combination of excavating performance and carrier versatility for you.

The Rear Stabilizer is an optional accessory to the attachment. Being frame-mounted, weight of your Bobcat loader is transferred to the backhoe to deliver greater digging capability. It also helps in leveling the loader on uneven grounds or terrains.

How to Operate a Bobcat Backhoe Attachment

The attachment is powered by the auxiliary hydraulics from the Bobcat loader, which enables the attachment’s hydraulic cylinders to dig, dump and swing. Operate the attachment easily from the comfort of the operator’s cab.
