E70 series Skid Steer Backhoe with Solenoid Controlled Hydraulic Thumb.  HAS Arrived!!!

Development of this product started during Hurricane Katrina.  To meet demand, we modified our EH-5000 backhoe with a grapple and fixed thumb.  40 units went right into New Orleans and Florida.  People loved it, but always asked for a hydraulic thumb.  The cost has always been an issue because of the extra cylinder and solenoid control valve.  So many people have requested it that we jumped right in on a design and testing.  The feedback has been terrific so now here it is. 
 
How did the best backhoe on the market get better?
The addition of a hydraulic thumb has changed the way people use this device.  With a regular fixed backhoe you are stuck digging in one place.  The E70 allows you to dig and move from place to place.  Pick up debris and move it on the fly.  The E70 Skid Steer Backhoe also uses our special quick change coupler that allows you to change buckets in seconds.  This is a huge step forward in the skid steer backhoe market.  All of our imitators are years behind us copying only our easier older designs.  The E70 Skidsteer backhoe is unlike anything else you will find on the market today and we are very proud to have brought this to market.
 
Some of the uses are:
  • Hurricane or storm clean-up
    • Pick up debris from roads and directly load your truck or trailer
    • Grab furniture out of bottom story buildings
    • Pull items out of hard to reach areas
    • Load trailers or trucks with appliances
    • Scrape items off of the side of buildings
    • Move dead animal carcasses
    • Dig emergency trenches or ditches
  • Landscaping
    • Trenching for water lines or sprinklers
    • Moving and placing landscape rocks or decorative blocks
    • Digging small ponds
    • Scraping banks of debris in preparation for finish work
    • Dig small footings for gazebos
    • Digging holes for small tree placement
    • Old tree and stump removal
  • Home Owner
    • Ditching
    • Trenching
    • Debris movement
    • Rock removal and placemet
    • Burn pile loading
    • Stump removal

Wiring:

Generic Kit - This kit is supplied if you do not have your own electrical controls on your skid steer.  It features a commerical grade switch kit that mounts on your left control stick and back to your battery.  There is an extension wire furnished that runs out your boom to where your hydraulic controls connect.  When you mount your backhoe, you connect our hoses and the wire end connector and you are ready to go.  You would operate your right thumb control on your machine to open and close the bucket.  You push the switch in and then operate your right thumb control to open and close the thumb.

 

14 Pin and 8 Pin Kit - If your machine has an auxilliary wiring kit installed, we can furnish an adaptor plug that will allow you to plug the backhoe right into your factory controls.  This makes the function seamless to the operator.  You would open and close the bucket with your right thumb control and open and close the thumb with your left thumb control.

 

Bobcat 7 Pin kits.  At this time we are unable to accomodate this control.  A 14 pin kit can be added to your existing 7 pin control and would allow our backhoe to function with your Bobcat.
