M06 Backhoe Attachment Delivers Big Excavation in Small Areas

The M06 backhoe attachment for Bobcat’s mini track loaders has the power and digging depth to install underground utilities as deep as 11 ft. (3.3 m). Its narrow width of 36 in. (91 cm) — 41.8 in. (106 cm) wide with stabilizer pads enables it to perform jobs in confined areas where larger equipment can’t go.

Contractors are able to enter and easily maneuver within tight spaces, making the M06 backhoe attachment ideal for landscaping and nursery work, sewage systems and septic tanks, water and power lines, and many other excavation jobs.

The M06 backhoe fits on all Bobcat mini track loader models (MT52 and MT55) and is available with bucket widths from 9 to 39 in. (22.8 to 99 cm). Bobcat representatives say the attachment is designed to provide the operator with excellent visibility of the excavation site.

In addition, the M06 backhoe attachment features a flip-up and pivoting seat for easy access to under-hood items without having to remove the backhoe. It also features shielded hoses and the Bob-Tach mounting system for quickly changing between attachments.
