DR Towable Backhoe

Features

This is a no nonsense heavy-duty machine. Every detail — from the thick, box-beam steel frame to the world-class Subaru engine — has been carefully designed and engineered. No matter how tough your task, the DR Towable Backhoe is made to dig and built to last.

Exclusive Features of the DR Towable Backhoe

Easy Set Up

Quick & Easy Set-Up

It's ready to go anytime you are.

The DR Towable Backhoe is self-powered and has its own hydraulic power system. Since it's completely self-contained, there's no fussing with a 3-point hitch or hydraulic connections.

Unmatched Portability

Take it down the road or off-road

The DR Towable Backhoe hitches to your pickup truck with a common 2" ball hitch, and is highway towable at up to 45 mph. You can also take it off-road with your ATV or Lawn Tractor, allowing you to get to places a tractor couldn't go easily or safely.

Flexible Design

Use it with or without a tow vehicle

The DR Backhoe is designed for digging attached to your tow vehicle or free-standing. Working unhitched, for lighter jobs, gives you maximum maneuverability, and means you don't have to tie up your tow vehicle if it’s needed for other purposes. For ripping or lifting, you should leave the tow vehicle attached to provide extra anchorage.

Wide Stance Stabilizer System

Multiple legs provide a safe operating position

Wide stance stabilizer system provides maximum holdback to counter digging force and provide solid platform. Unique foot design enables you to reposition the unit, using the bucket, but resists unintentional "crawl." Front stabilizer legs have 3 positions for modifying working height. Rear stabilizer feet skid backward easily but resist forwardsliding.

World Class Engine Choices

High-performance engines have all the power you'll need

We use Subaru engines on our DR Towable Backhoes and they are among the very best small engines available. Subaru engines are the first air-cooled engines in the world to use auto-style chain-driven overhead cam technology. Steel cam and gear replace rubber timing belts and plastic gears found in other engines, for longer engine life. Overhead cam design, cast-iron cylinder sleeve and superior lubrication.

Valve Control Levers

Operation is simple and easy to learn

The DR Backhoe's controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to become a proficient operator with just a little practice. Each lever controls one action: 1) the up-down action of the boom (or "upper arm"); 2) the side-to-side action of the boom; 3) the up-down action of the crowd (or "lower arm"); 4) the curl of the bucket.

Dual Filtration System

Clean fluid ensures less maintenance, better performance

Clean hydraulic fluid is essential to any machine powered by hydraulics. With the DR Backhoe, the hydraulic fluid is cleaned twice. First, by the Tank Mounted Strainer (left) and second by the Hydraulic Filter (right).
