Eterra E70 Skid Steer Backhoe Attachment Description The Eterra E70 Backhoe for skid steers flaunts one of the highest quality designs for a skid steer backhoe attachment on the market. Unlike most backhoe attachment designs, the E70 enables the operator to utilize an optional hydraulic thumb and dig 7 feet with break out power of 14,000 lbs. The E70 series of skid steer backhoes are based on an original Eterra backhoe design from 1998. This backhoe has evolved over the years, resulting in a durable and trustworthy attachment with incredibly dynamic features, offering more reach and more options available to you on the job site. The 7 foot boom gives you 7 feet of reach. Eterra has improved the relief qualities of the cylinder so there is no need for a separate valve. Movement has also been updated to better connect to the ECS quick coupler. The idea for a hydraulic thumb was conceived and developed post-Hurricane Katrina due to a demand for a backhoe with a grapple and a fixed thumb. After gathering extensive customer feedback, Eterra designed a hydraulic thumb to allow for debris and material handling. It also features remote hydraulics for powered attachments and a special quick-change coupler that allows the operator to switch out your buckets or accessories within a few minutes. The Solenoid Controlled Hydraulic Thumb and Remote Hydraulics options includes a remote output port with couplers so you can add additional hydraulic backhoe attachments for skid steer loaders to the ECS backhoe coupler that your bucket or accessory connects to.  You can expect 14,000 pounds of break-out power and a boom reach of 90" with the bucket installed on your E70 Skid Steer Backhoe. Please note the 8" bucket is recommended for use with the E40 and E60 series of backhoes. The 8" will work with the E70, but the thumb will be wider than the bucket, making digging difficult. Some customers utilize the 8" bucket in different and creative ways, so the option is still available if you have a use in mind. Why buy an Eterra E70 Skid Steer Backhoe System? Well, it is the #1 backhoe on the market for a reason. It works great and lasts, as well as being supported by a full parts department. Eterra strives to set the industry standard, demanding excellence out of their entire line of products.

Hello Austin, Just received the backhoe and grapple that was ordered from you. I must say this is one of the nicest builds that I have seen in several years. I am a welder/fabricator/ designer of machines and general structures and I am very picky about the welds and general looks of quality. Hats off to your fabrication/design group. Also Thanks for the REALLY nice hat! Thanks again

This attachment has many uses. Digging is obvious, but the combination of hydraulic thumb and bucket make this part digger, part grapple, and all-around tool for just about any task from moving brush piles to picking up heavy posts, rocks, you name it. The reach is key. I recently sheared a few larger trees and was able to grab them by the stems with this thing without any trouble at all. I couldn't have done that with a grapple given the limb circumference. Digging is a transition for anyone with backhoe experience, but easy enough to learn. I have the 22" bucket on it now, and also ordered the ripper claw. While I haven't needed the ripper yet, I can tell from the bucket power (and thumb versatility) that the ripper will be perfect for stumps. Great product.
