8.2 FT Skid Steer Swing Backhoe, 30-60 Skid Steers, Hydraulic, 15" Bucket, BH820-S

I wasn’t sure if the BH820-S would fit my older quick attach plate, so I called Farmry before placing the order. The rep asked for photos and measurements, and got back to me with clear confirmation the same day. That level of support made the buying process easy. The backhoe works great for deeper trenching and light digging around utilities.

Before ordering, I emailed Farmry with a few compatibility questions about my older skid steer. Their team replied within a day and even provided a mounting diagram. That gave me the confidence to go ahead. The BH820-S has been working great for foundation prep and small-scale excavation. Strong welds and smooth hydraulics — no regrets.

Solid performance for a backhoe this size. The BH820-S handled buried roots better than expected. The steel bucket feels tough and shows minimal wear after use. One of the decals was peeling, but that’s just cosmetic. For the price, this is a very capable unit.

I used this for digging out footings and utility trenches. It delivers consistent hydraulic power and didn’t stall once. The swing angle is wide enough for angled access, which saved me repositioning time. Would be nice if the seat rotated, but overall this is a strong machine.

The BH820-S is heavier-duty than I expected. I’ve been using it to dig out compacted soil and old gravel beds. It holds up well and doesn’t flex under pressure. The seat could use more padding, but functionally, it works great. Solid value for medium-duty work.
