7' Skid Steer Loader Backhoe with Curved Boom, Italian Original WALVOIL Seven Way Hydraulic Control Valve, 12" Bucket, Hydraulic Grapple Thumb included, for 30-50 HP, BHS700Pro

FAQs

1. Will a skid steer backhoe attachment fit my machine and deliver the digging depth I need?

Absolutely—this backhoe attachment mounts to a skid steer or Bobcat with a universal quick-attach loader plate. The BHS700 Pro is engineered for compact models in the 30–50 HP class and targets a 7' digging depth (an 8'4" option is available). Before buying, check your auxiliary hydraulics (flow/pressure) since cycle time and cylinder power vary depending on the machine. Choose your bucket size (12" included) based on job type—tight trenching or wider drainage ditches—and use replaceable teeth to protect performance over time.

2. How does this compare to renting a full-size backhoe for trenching and drainage jobs?

A full size backhoe offers longer reach, but this skid steer backhoe shines when you need quick setups, nimble turns, and lower cost per job. You can dig trenches, clean drainage ditches, and load spoils without moving a second machine. The curved boom, dual-swing cylinders, and WALVOIL valve deliver smooth control, while the hydraulic thumb grips debris the big machines drop. It’s easy to operate, quick to use, and often more efficient in tight conditions—making trenching, service laterals, and landscape work faster and more predictable.

3.What do I need on day one to operate the BHS700 Pro safely and efficiently?

Arrives ready to mount with SSQA. You’ll use the aux circuit to operate swing, boom, dipper, bucket, and grapple thumb. Bring: flat-face couplers, a properly rated trailer (verify crate/attachment weight), and PPE. Set the attachment down on firm ground, level the skid, and extend stabilizers before you dig. Grease all pivot points; the hardened bushings and JIC fittings simplify upkeep. For rocky conditions, inspect teeth and pins after each job. Keep manuals handy for torque specs and service data; our support team can help if you need setup guidance.

4. Which bucket, thumb, and options should I choose for my soil and site conditions?

Match products to conditions:

• Clay or compacted soils → narrower bucket to hit target depths and reduce stall.
• Sandy trenches or drainage ditches → wider clean-out bucket for smooth walls.
• Stumps/rocks → hydraulic attachment thumb for grip and controlled pulls.
• Property lines/fences → prioritize precise swing control and shorter cycle time.
  The included 12" bucket is a versatile baseline; add sizes depending on work mix. The curved boom helps protect trench edges, while replaceable teeth keep production quick and easy. If you’re unsure, our team will offer a build set based on soil type and trench spec.
