Product Description

• The CAEL-TBH88 Tractor Swing Backhoe Attachment is a powerful and versatile solution for digging, trenching, and excavation tasks.

• With a 7’8” digging depth and a 180° swing arc, it allows you to work efficiently across a wide area without constant repositioning.

• Designed for 30–60 HP tractors, this backhoe includes a 12-inch bucket, making it ideal for trenching, irrigation installation, landscaping, and general property work.

• Precision-engineered Italian hydraulic control valves optimize hydraulic pressure distribution for smooth operation, accurate timing, and reliable performance.

• A well-gusseted dual hydraulic cylinder arm and bucket linkage deliver high breakout force, strong burrowing power, and a full 180° of bucket rotation.

• The 3-point hitch system provides easy tractor attachment, eliminating the need for a standalone excavating machine.

• Maintenance is simplified with replaceable bushings, bolt-on cast teeth, and grease fittings on all pivot points for long-term durability.

• Stabilizer legs with removable rubber street pads help protect lawns, asphalt, and concrete during operation.

• For tractors without an auxiliary hydraulic system, an optional external self-contained hydraulic pump is available to maximize digging performance (sold separately).
