Product Overview

Designed for 30-65HP tractors, this compact 3-point linkage backhoe has a 8′4″ max digging depth and optional additional compact bucket sizes. Its curved boom protects the backhoe from unnecessary damage and stops soil from falling back into the hole, while dual cylinders deliver strong, consistent movement across the full 180-degree range. All pivot points have greasable pins for easy maintenance, with main pivot points fitted with hardened steel bushings to reduce wear. Easy-to-use hydraulic stabilizers help prevent tipping; replaceable bucket teeth let users quickly swap worn or damaged ones to resume work fast. When the boom swings to extreme ends, rubber pads cushion it to a controlled stop, and rubber footpads on stabilizers keep their teeth from tearing up driveways.

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.

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.

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.

Reviews & Questions

Mounted the machine to my 50 HP tractor in a couple hours. Everything lined up correctly and the hoses were long enough without having to reroute them. We’ve been opening drainage ditches on pasture land and it’s handled the workload just fine.

After looking at several brands, I went with the BH820E because of the build quality and warranty. We dug out an old water line and replaced it in a single afternoon. The machine stayed stable and didn’t leak a drop of hydraulic fluid.

The BH820E has good digging power for the size. I like that the controls are predictable without lag. It did struggle a little in very wet clay, but that’s expected around here. Still finished the job without problems.

I use the machine for trenching and for clearing small stumps. It is built heavy in the right places and hasn’t shown any leaks. Shipping was quick and the machine came well-protected. Nothing fancy, just solid equipment.

I chose the machine because I needed more reach and a stronger boom. It made quick work of clearing brush and installing new fence posts. The hydraulic response is easy to control, even for someone who isn’t a professional operator. Everything arrived in good shape.

Backhoe for 30–65 HP Tractors for Trenching and Property Work

This backhoe for 30-65 hp tractor is built for reliable digging, trenching, and everyday property maintenance. With an 8'4" digging depth, it’s well suited for jobs like drainage ditches, planting, and utility trenching.

Designed for tractors in the 30 to 65 hp range, this compact backhoe attachment gives you the flexibility to handle real excavation tasks without stepping up to a dedicated excavator. Its rear-mounted design keeps the attachment stable while allowing effective operation even in tight spaces.

PTO-Driven Hydraulic Power for Smoother Operation

This tractor backhoe uses a pto driven hydraulic pump powered by the tractor’s pto, instead of relying on the tractor's hydraulic system. This helps deliver more consistent hydraulic pressure and smoother control during digging and trenching.

The three point hitch mounting system keeps the unit stable and easy to install on compatible tractors equipped with PTO. Together, this setup improves overall operation, reduces compatibility issues, and ensures more predictable performance across different machines.

Built for Control, Durability, and Long-Term Use

This backhoe attachment is designed for consistent control and long term reliability in real working conditions. The curved boom improves visibility and efficiency, while dual cylinders provide a full 180-degree swing arc for accurate bucket placement.

Key wear areas are reinforced with greasable pivot points and replaceable bushings, helping maintain performance over time. Hydraulic stabilizer legs add balance during operation, while replaceable bucket teeth make ongoing digging work easier to maintain.

These features work together to deliver dependable performance across a wide range of excavation and landscaping tasks.

FAQs

Is this backhoe attachment compatible with all 30–65 HP tractors?

This model is designed for most tractors equipped with a 3 point hitch and a working tractor’s pto within the 30 to 65 hp range. Always confirm your tractor’s PTO and mounting compatibility before use.

What is the maximum digging depth of this backhoe?

This tractor backhoe offers an 8'4" digging depth, making it suitable for trenching, drainage work, planting, and general excavation tasks.

Does this backhoe use the tractor’s hydraulic system?

No. It uses a pto driven hydraulic pump, powered by the tractor’s pto, which helps provide stable hydraulic pressure and smoother control during operation.

What are the benefits of the curved boom design?

The curved boom improves visibility, increases clearance, and helps reduce soil falling back into the trench, making digging more efficient.

How do replaceable bushings and pivot points improve durability?

Greasable pivot points and replaceable bushings reduce wear in high-stress areas, helping maintain tight operation and extend the life of the backhoe.

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.
