LandHonor Big Arm Backhole BH-12-72D 455 lbs. 3000 psi

The LandHonor BH-12-72D “Big Arm” Backhoe is a compact, rigid-frame skid steer digging attachment optimized for light excavation, utility trenching, and agricultural landscaping. Unlike complex backhoes featuring dedicated operator seats and manual multi-lever consoles, the BH-12-72D uses a fixed geometry arm operated entirely from inside the skid steer cab using the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic controls.

• Digging Depth: True 72-inch (6 feet) maximum digging capability.
• Maximum Reaching Height: Extends up to approx. 12 feet high, allowing the operator to dump soil directly over the sidewalls of dump trucks or high-sided trailers.
• Bucket Configuration: Shipped with an 18-inch wide bucket equipped with 4 bolt-on ground-engaging teeth.
• Hydraulic Force: Powered by a 2.5″ × 16″ hydraulic cylinder delivering 5,346 lbs of bucket breakout force at 3,000 PSI.
• Weight Profile: Extremely lightweight footprint at 455 lbs empty operating weight, minimizing the load on smaller prime movers.
• Mounting Interface: Standard universal skid steer quick-attach plate paired with standard hydraulic hoses and flat-face couplers.
• The “Big Arm” Advantage: Because it features an elongated boom arm, operators can dig deep trenches and reposition the bucket without exiting the cab or wrestling with secondary control linkages.
• Fixed Swing Limitation: Note that the BH-12-72D is a straight-line fixed digger. It does not feature a hydraulic left/right swing swing mechanism. To dump dirt to the side of your trench, you must physically swing or pivot the entire skid steer track/wheel base.
• Target Applications: It is highly effective for burying water/electrical lines, digging out shallow footings, pulling up small tree stumps, or clearing agricultural drainage ditches. It is not intended for high-production commercial construction quarry digging.
