Give Your Loader True Digging Power: Meet Sibom’s skid steer backhoe attachment

Running a compact loader is all about doing more with less iron. Add Sibom’s skid steer backhoe system and your CAT® 262, Bobcat® T770, or Kubota SVL series suddenly carries the punch of a dedicated mini-excavator—without the second engine, the second trailer, or the second insurance premium. One quick-coupler change and a bucket of hydraulic flow turn the machine you already own into a trench-carving, stump-popping, foundation-cutting hero that lives for tight access and tough soil.

A frame built like a bridge, not a lawn ornament

The core of every Sibom kit is a full-box-frame backhoe arm formed from high-strength plate, robot-welded, and stress-relieved. That enclosure geometry outclasses C-channel imitators and shrugs at the torsion loads that show up when a ditch-digging backhoe tooth hooks clay or a sideways scoop strains the boom. Fatigue gussets hug the cylinder mounts so the hydraulic-boom backhoe can cycle all day without pin ovaling. Down at the business end hangs a heavy-duty bucket attachment with a reversible lip and bolt-on teeth backhoe points, so crews swap tips instead of welding, and the forged base edge never thins.

Universal mount, zero-drama hook-up

Every Sibom arm carries a quick-attach backhoe plate welded to ISO spec. Curl the loader, seat the pins, bump the parking brake, and hose up with the included flat-face coupler backhoe lines. No skid steer? A bolt-on adapter turns the same frame into a track loader backhoe or even an excavator wheel saw attachment for giant carriers. The loader that graded stone in the morning becomes a skid steer rear excavator by lunchtime, then swaps back to forks for sundown cleanup.

Power where it counts—hydraulics matched to modern loaders

A pair of oversize cylinders pulls through the full bucket radius, giving a high-capacity digging bucket breakout you feel in the seat. Flow dividers make sure low-flow Kubota SSLs don’t starve and high-flow CAT XHPs don’t cavitate. The valve chest uses cartridge checks for feather control—ideal for precision-digging backhoe work around fiber optics—yet dumps oil in bulk when your deep-dig backhoe attachment has to rip out a stump.

Stabilizers that actually stabilize

Flip down bar-style pads lock the rear of the machine; fold-out shoes extend for slope-maintenance backhoe operations on ditch banks. A boom-lock dog and rotation pin tame the arm in travel, so you can road-move without ratchet straps. Grease points all face the operator side—every grease-fitting backhoe nipple hits a curator cup, meaning no more lost zerks or messy over-pumps. Low-maintenance by design, because uptime equals invoice time.

Buckets for any trench, any soil

• Trenching backhoe bucket—skinny profile for narrow-trench backhoe cuts chasing telecom fiber.

• Ditch bucket attachment—tapered cheeks for drainage trench backhoe slopes that drain clean.

• Heavy-lifting backhoe bucket—wider mouth and teeth pitched to bite rock when a rocky-soil backhoe bucket job calls.

• Mini hoe attachment ripper tooth for root-removal backhoe duty in hardwood groves.

Swapping buckets needs one pin; a captive retainer stops lost clips in muddy holes. The hinge boss carries hardened bushings for a long-reach backhoe life measured in thousands of cycles.

Tight spaces, neat lines

The short knuckle geometry makes this a tight-space digging backhoe that sneaks between air-conditioner pads, through gate openings, and under canopy trees. A swing-bucket backhoe pivot adds extra flare so you can spoil on one side while cutting on the other, perfect for pipe-trench backhoe or utility trench backhoe assignments with limited spoil room. Contractors praise the ability to dig a precision-depth saw slot beside a foundation footer without touching forms.

Perfect for pros—and built for weekend warriors

A city crew calls it their municipal construction saw partner; the ranch owner calls it a homeowner backhoe attachment that pays for itself fencing a back forty. Landscape designers slot ponds with its landscaping backhoe attachment spoon, while civil outfits run the pro-grade backhoe to pop test pits before geotech approval. Insurance adjusters like the safety of an in-cab seat and ROPS/FOPS loader instead of exposed walk-behind trenchers.

Use-case snapshots

• Septic-tank digger attachment—drop a tank pit in clay without hour-meter charges on a rented mini.

• Storm-drain backhoe—pop inlet boxes after the paving crew rolls asphalt.

• Footing excavation backhoe—square a crawl-space perimeter without hand shovels.

• Irrigation-ditch digger—pull a graded swale beside a vineyard trellis in one pass.

• Power-line trench backhoe—slot a straight, uniform trench for conduit under a ranch drive.

• Stump-digging attachment—rip taproots where a skid-steer grapple can’t claw deep enough.

Durability and service

The rugged backhoe bucket edge bolts off; flip it to fresh steel mid-season, then replace next winter. Pins grease through counter-drilled greaseways; bronze thrust washers laugh at angular loads from slope-grading backhoe duty. Hoses wear abrasion sleeves and route above the coupler lip—no pinch between boom and cab. When it’s time for storage, a boom pin locks in vertical, shrinking the footprint of this compact loader backhoe to less than the loader’s wheelbase.

Performance that pays

Compared with renting a mini-excavator, a contractor saves transport fees and a day of downtime waiting on availability. Compared with hand shovels and two laborers, a landowner finishes fence posts in an afternoon. And the loader you already own gains another line item on the bid sheet—versatile backhoe attachment hours bill higher than bucket time. That is productivity backhoe calculus, and Sibom engineered every weld to support it.
