Fixed-Boom Skid Steer Backhoe Attachment for Digging and Trenching
A fixed-boom backhoe attachment with 8.5 ft max digging depth, removable thumb, and multiple bucket choices.
The Glacier fixed-boom skid steer backhoe attachment gives skid steer owners a digging tool for trenching, drainage work, tree and stump prep, utility access, and general property excavation. It mounts to the skid steer quick attach plate and uses a compact backhoe layout for jobs where a full excavator is not practical.
This backhoe attachment delivers an 8.5 ft maximum digging depth, 45 in. total width, a 1/2 in. quick plate, and a 3 in. x 16 in. 14,000 lb cylinder. It includes a removable heavy-duty backhoe thumb for grabbing and positioning material when the job calls for more than digging.
Bucket options include no bucket, 9, 12, 16, or 24 in. buckets. If an exact trench width is critical, confirm the selected bucket size before ordering.
