Features
Operator Comfort Features

The backhoe places emphasis on operator comfort, with controls arranged for ease of use during long workdays. The curved power boom improves visibility of the digging area, and the transport lock system allows secure locking of the swing and boom without leaving the seat.
Seamless Tractor Backhoe Hookup

The backhoe features a unique 4-point quick-attach system, making attachment and detachment with the tractor seamless. This system, with rockshaft assist, positions the backhoe closer to the tractor, facilitating a simple and tool-free hookup process from the operator’s seat.
Powerful Swing

This backhoe is equipped with a twin double-acting cylinder swing system for precise control. Directly coupled swing cylinders provide substantial torque for backfilling, while the compact swing system design ensures close coupling to the tractor for enhanced stability.
