Loflin Skid Steer Backhoe
Unlock Precision Trenching Capabilities with Your Existing Loader
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.
