Specifications
BH160 Backhoe Performance

The BH160 Backhoe is engineered to offer best‑in‑class performance at a competitive price, validated through benchmarking against similar models. It features a durable subframe, tool‑free installation, mid‑mower compatibility, multiple bucket options, and protective control boots. Optional accessories—including stabilizer pads and mechanical or hydraulic thumbs—enhance versatility for various heavy‑lifting and trenching tasks.

Backhoe Operator Comfort

The BH160 and BH270 Backhoes are built to maximize operator comfort throughout long workdays. A stable 3‑point stance, accessible grab handles, and a large boarding step make mounting and dismounting easier, while a high‑back seat and convenient access to stabilizers and locks enhance ease of use. Non‑slip grips on the operator platform further support safe, comfortable operation.
