What is the best backhoe for me?

Choosing the right tractor backhoe attachment starts with matching your tractor’s minimum horsepower, overall tractor weight, the wheelbase, and 3 point hitch category. Farmry 3 point tractor backhoe models are engineered for specific tractor ranges to ensure safe operation, proper digging depth, and long-term durability. First, confirm your tractor’s PTO HP, hitch type (CAT I or CAT II), and rear lift capacity. Using a backhoe that exceeds your tractor’s capability can reduce stability and place unnecessary stress on the tractor frame, while undersizing may limit performance during demanding digging and trenching jobs. If your budget allows, the PRO-series tractor backhoe offers smoother control and higher efficiency for frequent excavation tasks. For users prioritizing value, Farmry’s standard backhoe attachments remain a reliable solution, delivering dependable performance at a more accessible regular price.

What is the difference between the basic and PRO version?

Both the standard and PRO models are PTO powered, self contained, and operate independently of the tractor hydraulics, ensuring consistent performance regardless of differences in the tractor’s hydraulic system. Standard models use high-quality domestic hydraulic valves, providing stable and dependable operation for general backhoe work. PRO-series models are equipped with imported Walvoil (Italy) hydraulic valves, delivering noticeably smoother control, more precise bucket rotation, and better modulation during swing and placement. For operators who work in tight areas, require fine control around the swing pivot, or run the machine for extended periods, the PRO version offers a clear upgrade in handling quality and operator comfort.

What is the main difference between BH600, BH700, BH820, and BH920?

The main differences between Farmry tractor backhoe models are digging depth, reach, hydraulic capacity, and hitch compatibility. A higher model number provides greater depth, increased loading reach, and stronger overall power. The BH600 series does not include a grapple thumb and is suited for lighter-duty work. The BH700, BH820, and BH920 models are equipped with a hydraulic grapple thumb for handling rocks, brush, and debris. Hitch compatibility: BH600: 3 point Category 1 BH700 / BH820: 3 point CAT I / CAT II BH920: 3 point CAT II Always review the product specifications to confirm bucket sizes, reach from center line, and tractor requirements before purchase.

What type of maintenance do Farmry backhoes require?

Farmry backhoe attachments are designed for straightforward, routine maintenance to support long service life and consistent performance. Recommended maintenance includes: Greasing all pivot points and the dipper stick cylinder Inspecting the bucket, pins, and bucket cylinder digging force components for wear Checking hydraulic hoses, fittings, and operating pressure Verifying oil level in the self contained hydraulic tank Inspecting stabilizer arms, stabilizer spread, and rubber footpads Ensuring the PTO pump connection is secure and operating smoothly Confirming safety decals remain visible and intact Following the maintenance schedule in the user manual helps protect critical wear areas and ensures replacement parts can restore performance when needed.

Does the backhoe come assembled? How long does assembly take?

Farmry tractor backhoe attachments ship partially assembled to reduce transport size and protect components during shipping. Final assembly typically takes several hours, depending on experience and available equipment. Detailed instructions, images, and videos are provided, and no modification of the tractor’s hydraulic system is required. Once attached to the 3 point hitch, the PTO powered, independent hydraulic system allows the machine to operate smoothly and consistently, enabling you to begin digging, trenching, and material handling with confidence. If questions arise during setup, our support team is available to assist and ensure proper installation.

Product Features

Powerful Design

Farmry backhoe attachments are precision-engineered for optimal size-weight-power balance—light for easy on-site handling, setup, and repositioning, yet strong for trench digging and heavy debris moving. Contrary to the "heavier = more durable" myth, excess weight strains tractor frames, accelerating wear.
Farmry boosts performance with CNC laser-cut components (precise fit), precision welding (uniform strong bonds, no weak points), and optimized structural design (even load distribution). This premium build delivers ideal weight-rigidity balance, protecting tractors while maintaining toughness for long-term reliability.

Italy Made Hydraulic Control Valve

Farmry PRO series feature Italian-made Walvoil hydraulic control valves (https://www.walvoil.com/). Part of Interpump Group with 50+ years in fluid power, Walvoil is a pioneer in hydraulic innovation and mechatronic integration, with core strengths in technological excellence, quality assurance, and global responsiveness.
ISO 9001/14001 certified, it ensures top production precision and environmental responsibility. Its global branch network and tailored solutions enable rapid responses to agriculture, construction, and mining sector needs.

Three-Point Hitch

You can easily convert your tractor into a backhoe using a straightforward 3-point hitch mounting setup—and this 3-point hitch further leverages your tractor’s draw bar to boost overall rigidity, ensuring stable operation.

Curved Boom

A curved boom backhoe features an excavator-style curved boom that offers improved digging efficiency, greater clearance over obstacles, and better visibility of the trench and bucket compared to traditional straight booms. This design allows for deeper digging without damaging the excavation's edge and provides more clearance when loading trucks

Dual Swing Cylinders

The dual cylinders deliver strong, consistent movement across the full 180-degree range, letting you dig into even tight spots and dump dirt exactly where you need it

Hardened Steel Bushings

Backhoe pivot points (pins and pin bosses) wear under high loads, causing loose, rattling boom/dipper/bucket—a common issue for backhoes/excavators. Replacing only worn pins won’t restore performance—pin bosses wear too.
Farmry solves this with replaceable bushings pressed into pin bosses: swapping pins and bushings returns the backhoe to original condition, protecting your investment (no permanent boom slop without this feature). Ordinarily exclusive to standalone units, this feature is standard on all Farmry backhoe attachments.

Replaceable Teeth

Our bucket teeth allow you to swap out worn or damaged teeth and get back to work as soon as possible.
PICTURE FOR REFERENCE ONLY

Swing Cushioning

When swinging the boom to the extreme ends, rubber pads cushioning gracefully brings the boom to a controlled stop. Thus, it can provide the maximum protection during the equipment's left-to-right operation.

Rubber Footpads

Keep the stabilizer teeth from tearing up your lawn, blacktop, and concrete.

Grapple Thumb (Mechanical）

The grapple thumb is highly versatile for handling rocks, tree limbs, and brush. The mechanical type demands manual positioning: the operator lowers the thumb and inserts a pin to lock it in place.

JIC Style Hose Fittings

JIC (Joint Industrial Council) style hose fittings boast a 5000 psi pressure rating. When hydraulic hose replacement is needed, these fittings are typically easy to source—plus, they eliminate the hassle of dealing with mismatched joint threads.

Smooth Hydraulic Controls

All Farmry backhoe attachments integrate a hydraulic pump and tank, eliminating reliance on the tractor’s hydraulics. This design delivers optimal flow/pressure at 540 RPM PTO for smooth valve operation, resolving compatibility issues of conventional models—due to varying tractor hydraulic specs, flow/pressure inconsistencies are common with traditional setups.
PICTURE FOR REFERENCE ONLY

Integrated Iron-Pump

For PTO and PTO PRO, Farmry backhoe attachments are equipped with an extremely reliable intergated pump made from high strength cast iron. These pumps are equipped with an internal spline and are made to slide right onto the 1-3/8″ spline of your tractor.

Reviews & Questions

FAQs

Is this tractor with backhoe attachment a good fit for my compact tractor, and how do I verify compatibility?

Yes—the BH920 Pro is engineered for 45–120 HP tractors with a three point hitch (Cat II). To verify the fit, check your machine’s PTO (540 RPM, 1-3/8" 6-spline), frame clearance, and ballast needs. This model’s self-contained pump makes connection simple and keeps performance consistent across brands. If you’re unsure, contact our team with your tractor model for a quick verification and sizing review before you order.

How does the hydraulic thumb make hard jobs a lot easier in demanding conditions?

The included hydraulic thumb adds confident material processing—grabbing rocks, roots, and debris—so you can tackle tricky applications in hard to reach areas. Paired with the 18" bucket and curved boom, it improves control and stability, making trenching, lifting, and placement easy even in demanding conditions. Operators consistently note faster job completion and a smoother experience.

What heavy duty tasks can this backhoe handle, and what’s the real digging depth?

Designed for heavy duty tasks, the BH920 Pro delivers a 9'4" digging depth (ft) with strong breakout and reliability backed by replaceable parts (teeth, bushings) to reduce wear and extend service life. It’s built to transform everyday work—from trenching utilities to stump removal—into predictable action with fewer passes and higher efficiency.

How is this model different from a competitor backhoe attachment in durability and maintenance?

This model stands out with hardened steel bushings at pivot points, greasable pins, dual swing cylinders, and a Walvoil control valve for metered power. That means less play over time, fewer leaks, and simpler maintenance steps. The brand focus on CNC fabrication and optimized geometry boosts durability, stability, and long-term reliability—key benefits many competitor units don’t standardize.

What pricing, order details, and support options are provided if I need service or dealer guidance?

The BH920 Pro features transparent pricing, FREE SHIPPING, and a 12-month warranty. You can click “Add to Cart,” view financing options, and complete your order in minutes. Need details on attachments, sizes, or applications? We invite you to contact support for parts lists, torque specs, or setup guidance; if you prefer local help, we’ll help you find a dealer or service place. Buying is simple; getting to work is even easier.

How to check if the PTO extender needed or not if purchasing tractor powerer backhoe?

For the backhoe models compatible with certain tractor versions (BH600, BH600 PRO, BH700, BH700 PRO, BH820, BH820 PRO, BH920, and BH920 PRO), interference may occur during installation between the PTO pump and the tractor, preventing full engagement with the tractor’s PTO shaft (see left figure below).
When purchasing the above models, please pay close attention to the following:

1. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around your tractor’s PTO shaft (as shown in the right figure below, with a dimension of 7-3/4").

2. Please refer to the following dimensional specifications of the PTO pump to verify compatibility with the PTO shaft area on the rear of your tractor.

3. The PTO pump cannot be installed if any components are located within the shaded area of the pulley pump (dimensions: 160×224 mm / 6.3×8.8 inches) when mounting to the tractor’s PTO shaft area.
If insufficient clearance exists due to the above conditions, a PTO driveline extender will be required.(see above right picture)
This can be purchased on the Farmry website or at most agricultural equipment dealers.
