FAQs
1. What makes the Farmry BH600 3-Point Tractor Backhoe different from other models?
The Farmry BH600 stands out because it’s a self-contained 3-point tractor backhoe attachment equipped with its own gear-type hydraulic pump and integrated tank, eliminating the need to tap into your tractor’s hydraulics. Its curved boom design, dual swing cylinders, and precisely engineered bucket rotation give it superior digging accuracy and smoother operation. Built for Category 1 tractors in the 18–35 HP range, this model delivers a balanced mix of strength, reach, and stability—making it the ideal backhoe attachment for property owners, landscapers, and small farms.
2. How much digging depth and power does the BH600 provide?
The BH600 backhoe is designed for maximum digging depth of 6 feet, with powerful bucket cylinder digging force generated by a PTO-driven hydraulic pump. This ensures constant pressure and smooth motion at 540 RPM, even under heavy soil loads. Its optimized bucket geometry lets you dig clean trenches and reach full depth without over-straining your tractor. For users needing more reach, Farmry offers 7’ and 8’2’’ models, each maintaining the same precision-engineered performance and durable steel frame.
3. How is the BH600 connected to the tractor and powered?
This backhoe attachment connects easily via a standard 3-point hitch setup, making installation fast and secure. Once attached, the cast-iron hydraulic pump slides directly onto your PTO shaft—no separate PTO driveline required. The chain-secured pump position prevents movement while running, and the self-contained hydraulic reservoir maintains steady flow and cooling. Because it runs independent of the tractor’s own hydraulics, you get consistent digging power on any compatible Category 1 tractor.
4. What is the swing arc, stabilizer spread, and loading reach of this backhoe?
The BH600 features a 180-degree swing arc powered by dual hydraulic cylinders, allowing the operator to dig and dump efficiently from either side. The stabilizer spread ensures solid footing during operation—keeping the backhoe stable even on uneven ground. Its loading reach and boom height allow you to lift and position material precisely, while rubber stabilizer pads protect your driveway or turf. Together, these design elements enhance safety, performance, and long-term durability.
5. Why choose a curved-boom backhoe with replaceable bucket teeth and hardened bushings?
Farmry’s curved-boom design improves digging visibility and keeps soil from sliding back into the trench—saving you time on cleanup. Every pivot point is equipped with hardened steel bushings and greasable pins, ensuring years of smooth operation without play or wobble. The replaceable bucket teeth make maintenance easy and cost-effective, while the balanced frame weight protects your tractor’s hitch from unnecessary strain. In short, it’s a precision-built, high-power backhoe attachment designed for lasting strength and reliability.
