WHAT SIZE SKID STEER BACKHOE SHOULD I USE?

When deciding on the skid steer backhoe size you should use, consider: Digging depth, Hole width, Soil conditions, Skid steer power and capacity. For digging depth, choose a longer or shorter backhoe attachment according to the requirements of the job. For hole width, choose a wider or narrower bucket according to the requirements of the job. Survey the soil before digging, and match the power of the skid steer to the toughness of the ground. Similarly, be sure that the skid steer itself can handle the backhoe attachment’s weight and provide enough hydraulic force to move the loads necessary.

HOW DEEP CAN A SKID STEER BACKHOE DIG?

The depth a skid steer backhoe can reach depends on the length of the attachment and the power that the skid steer has to offer.
