Highlights

Ideal For

  • Landscaping Professionals planting large balled-and-burlapped trees or digging precise irrigation lines without needing a dedicated mini-excavator.
  • Plumbing & Utility Contractors trenching for water lines, electrical conduit, or sewer pipes in tight spaces where larger machines cannot fit.
  • General Contractors excavating footings for decks, small additions, or retaining walls with a skid steer they already have on site.
  • Farmers & Ranchers maintaining drainage ditches, burying utility lines, or removing stubborn stumps without bringing in a backhoe loader.
  • DIY Property Owners handling trenching projects or foundation repairs on their own schedule using a compact tractor.

'Need to Knows'

  • Heavy-Duty Boom Construction: The main digging arm is fabricated from 1/4” thick reinforced steel plate, providing the structural rigidity needed to handle aggressive digging forces without twisting.
  • Replaceable Digging Teeth: The standard buckets come equipped with Pengo 2300 series teeth, which are industry-standard and easily replaceable, ensuring you always have a sharp biting edge.
  • Jobsite Ready Hydraulics: Delivered fully assembled with premium Parker brand hoses, fittings, and couplers, so you can plug into your auxiliary hydraulics and start digging immediately.
  • Oversized Pivot Points: Engineered with oversized, greaseable pins at every pivot point to handle the stress of repetitive digging cycles and prevent premature wear.
  • Safe Cab Access: Features an integrated treaded step on the frame, providing a secure, slip-resistant platform for operators entering or exiting the machine.
  • Versatile Bucket Options: While the 12” bucket is standard, the system supports interchangeable buckets (available in 18” and 24”) to match your trench width requirements.

Warranty & Specs

  • Machine Compatibility: We stock two primary configurations: the Standard Skid Steer Backhoe (approx. 520 lbs) and a lighter-weight Compact Tractor Backhoe (approx. 350 lbs).
  • Solid Steel Build: The entire attachment is protected by a durable powder-coated finish to resist rust and abrasion during trenching work.
  • Bucket Customization: Standalone buckets are available in 12", 18", and 24" widths, all featuring the same robust tooth design for consistent performance.
  • Digging Geometry: Designed to maximize the reach and dig depth of your specific loader arm geometry, turning your skid steer into a capable excavator.
  • Origin: Proudly hand-welded and fabricated in Denton, North Carolina (USA).

Loflin Skid Steer Backhoe


Unlock Precision Trenching Capabilities with Your Existing Loader

 

 

 

Black loflin fabrication skid steer backhoe on a white background


Excavating deep, narrow trenches for utility lines or footings is virtually impossible with a standard skid steer bucket that is designed only for surface scooping. The loflin skid steer backhoe solves this geometric limitation by extending your reach below grade, allowing you to dig precise, clean lines without disturbing the surrounding soil. This tool effectively transforms your loader into a versatile excavator capable of handling detailed digging tasks in tight spaces.

The boom is constructed from 1/4” thick reinforced steel plate, ensuring it has the structural rigidity to withstand the twisting and prying forces encountered when breaking ground. Unlike lighter-duty attachments that flex under load, this American-made backhoe directs your machine’s hydraulic power straight into the dig. It allows you to tackle heavy clay, roots, and rocky soil with confidence and control.

Penetrating hard-packed earth requires a biting edge that stays sharp, which is why the standard 12” bucket comes equipped with three replaceable Pengo 2300 series teeth. These industry-standard teeth aggressively fracture the ground for efficient removal. If your project demands a wider trench, the system accommodates interchangeable buckets in 18” and 24” widths, allowing you to match the bucket size to your specific pipe or footing requirements.

At Timber Splitter Warehouse, we ensure you are ready to work the moment the attachment arrives by including premium Parker brand hoses, fittings, and couplers. There is no need for complex assembly or hydraulic sourcing; the unit plugs directly into your auxiliary ports. The plumbing is routed to protect the lines while maximizing the flow efficiency of your loader’s hydraulic system.

Friction is the enemy of any digging implement, so Loflin Fabrication designed this unit with oversized, greaseable pins at every pivot point. Regular lubrication of these points ensures smooth operation and prevents the slop and play that develop in lower-quality attachments. This maintenance-friendly design extends the lifespan of the equipment even under daily commercial use.

To maintain operator safety during entry and exit, the frame features an integrated treaded step that provides a secure foothold in muddy or wet conditions. Whether you need the 350 lb model for a compact tractor or the heavier 520 lb version for a skid steer, the loflin skid steer backhoe adds professional-grade excavation utility to your fleet without the need for a dedicated digging machine.

Applications & Compatibility


Compatible With:

  • Skid Steer Loaders: The standard 520 lb model is designed for full-size skid steers (e.g., Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Kubota) equipped with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) plate.
  • Compact Tractors: The lighter 350 lb model is specifically engineered for compact tractors with front-end loaders, allowing lower-horsepower machines to handle excavation tasks without exceeding lift capacity limits.
  • Mini Skid Steers: While primarily for full-size machines, the compact version can often be adapted for larger mini skid steers (like the Bobcat MT100) if the lift capacity permits.

Engineered for Precision Excavation & Trenching: The loflin backhoe is designed to provide deep-digging capabilities in tight spaces where larger excavators cannot fit or are not cost-effective. It is the primary choice for the following professional applications:

  • Utility & Plumbing Contracting: The most efficient tool for trenching narrow lines for water pipes, sewer laterals, and electrical conduit. The precise bucket widths (12", 18", 24") allow contractors to dig only the necessary width, minimizing backfill time.
  • Landscaping & Nursery Operations: Ideal for digging precise holes for planting large balled-and-burlapped trees. It is also essential for excavating irrigation mainlines and installing retaining wall footings without disturbing the surrounding turf.
  • Foundation & Concrete Work: Used by general contractors to dig footings for decks, small additions, and piers. The rigid boom construction allows for the down-pressure needed to square off corners and reach required frost depths.
  • Agricultural Drainage: Perfect for farmers maintaining field drainage ditches, installing French drains, or burying water lines to remote troughs. The reach allows operators to clean out ditches from the safety of the bank.
  • Property Maintenance: Excellent for removing small-to-medium stumps and large rocks. The toothed bucket can fracture roots and pry obstacles from the ground much more effectively than a standard smooth-edge bucket.
