MechMaxx BH760 8' Tractor Backhoe Attachment with Hydraulic Thumb

The MechMaxx BH760 Backhoe Attachment offers an 8‑foot digging depth for tractors that need a compact excavation tool. Its hydraulic thumb assists with gripping and positioning material during cleanup, trenching, and property‑maintenance tasks.

The backhoe’s reinforced structure and hydraulic controls support consistent operation, and the 3‑point hitch connection allows it to integrate with compatible tractors.

Fits Category I/II 3‑Point Tractors

Hydraulic vs Mechanical: Hydraulic thumbs deliver powered control and speed; mechanical thumbs are manual, fixed‑angle, and budget‑friendly.

Note!

Review the specifications of both the backhoe and the tractor — including recommended PTO horsepower, minimum tractor weight, rear lift capacity, hitch type, PTO speed, and connection — to ensure compatibility. If you are unsure, please contact us.

Please ensure all pivot pin set screws are fully tightened during assembly. If needed, re-tighten and apply threadlocker to secure the pin and prevent loosening during use.

Before use, check and grease all grease fittings on the machine.

Add approx. 4 gallons of hydraulic oil before first use, then add approx. 2 more gallons after startup.

Do not raise the 3-point hitch after the backhoe is attached to your tractor, as it may cause damage.

We don't recommend using the tractor's hydraulic ports to power the backhoe. Unstable flow can cause unsmooth operation. Moreover, the MechMaxx backhoe has its own filtration system. Using tractor hydraulics may contaminate the hydraulic oil, damaging components like pump and cylinder.)

Regarding tractor compatibility, ensure that the tractor’s PTO HP and 3-point hitch are compatible with the backhoe, and that it meets the minimum weight requirement for safe operation. If the tractor is too light, it can become unstable during travel or operation. To improve stability and reduce tipping hazards, add front ballast as needed. Additionally, take into account factors like speed and terrain slope. Above all, always prioritize safety during operation.

Great attachment. I’ve used it to dig out some stumps and cut firewood. The hydraulic thumb is awesome. It was well packaged for shipping and is definitely a heavy duty piece of equipment. I would recommend.

I was very impressed with the build quality and operation of the backhoe after assembly and instillation on my l3901 . I've worked with farm equipment for 18 years at dealerships and as a mechanic, and I have to say this is top notch!! Very happy and is definitely built to last !

Backhoe attachment is everything I hoped for. Works great and the hydrolic thumb is perfect. And it was a pleasure dealing with customer service. The manual tube was broken in shipping and was replaced

This is a great attachment! Fit like a glove onto a Kioti CK2620, extremely simple and easy to assemble. Not to mention the easy to read and follow instructions that comes with the backhoe. Very smooth operation of the backhoe, I got more than what I was expected. I highly recommend this tool !! 5 STAR RATING ALL DAY LONG!

This backhoe is amazing. It handles like a beast. The delivery was perfect. You’re not Going to beat this price anywhere. Used on a John Deere 3320. I’m so pleased with this product. I also purchased a SG24 stump grinder too. MechMaxx makes great products. Thank you MechMaxx.

We were a little skeptical about buying equipment on line , however we are thrilled about our 8’ backhoe attachment we bought from Mechmaxx! Out tractor is a 62 hp and it works well together. The deliver was fast and the backhoe was packaged great. Well worth the money and my husband loves it! You can see from the pics it does a great job!

The 8' Tractor Backhoe Attachment with Hydraulic Thumb, 15" Bucket, Self-Contained Pump (BH760) arrived in excellent condition and was well-packaged in a sturdy steel frame that was fairly easy to dismantle. Once I got to the bottom bolts, I lifted the entire assembly with some straps and placed it on a couple of wood pallets, which turned out to be the perfect height for attaching the backhoe to my loader tractor. Assembly and installation were straightforward with the included instructions, and I was able to handle everything myself using a few ratchet straps for assistance. The backhoe works great on my old Ford 3500 tractor—controls are smooth, precise, and easy to operate. I tested it by pulling out small trees and clearing a path through our tree line, and it performed impressively. Everything is holding up well, feels durable, and overall, this attachment is a great value for the money.

The Mechmaxx 8’ backhoe was delivered pretty well package. It is a nice addition to my bobcat tractor. I’ve dug a trench and some holes for trees on the property. I’m looking forward to the projects next spring.

Very happy with the backhoe. I have done many projects with it already. Dug the holes for my pole barn. Dug around swimming pool to access broken pipes. Dug up broken sprinkler lines. The thumb works awesome for removing concrete. I installed it by myself by using a floor jack to lift it up to the tractor. Would highly recommend.

I am so happy I purchased the 8' backhoe from MechMaxx! While it took 4 people 4 hours to assemble, once it was attached, I saved a boatload of time and money digging a 200ft x 4ft trench for my well. I then used it to dig the foundation for a greenhouse. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this backhoe!

I purchased a BH760 8' 3-point backhoe for my Allis Chalmers 5030 30hp tractor. I purchased it primarily for building my house and general property maintenance. It has done an excellent job clearing trees from the build site along with trenching in hard rocky soil. I have been very impressed with the speed and power of the hydraulic. I would recommend this to anybody looking to get a backhoe attachment for there tractor.

John M

The BH760 is fantastic. I have used it to dig drainage ditches, pull large rocks out of the ground, and dig up a few stumps. I am impressed with how capable it is, given my relative small (29HP) tractor.
And MechMaxx was very responsive in answering my questions during the purchase process.

If you're looking for a very capable 3-pt backhoe for your compact tractor, at a great price -- this is it.

Needed a small backhoe for multiple projects and one to fit my 20hp tractor. Was very impressed how it was shipped, everything covered in plastic and secure. Works well, and built very well for its price point.

Wanted a smaller backhoe that I could use with my kubota l2950 or my TYM T474 , watched some videos on it. Video looked like it operated smooth and had good power. I was amazed at the amount of power this backhoe has!! Dug up twelve huge stumps and was amazed at the ability of this little backhoe and how smooth it operates. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a universal backhoe with great power!
