The Bowell BH-8 Backhoe is an affordable and high quality alternative to a mini excavator. The BH-8 is designed for medium to heavy duty performance and uses a very powerful hydraulic system creating a bucket digging force of 1,5to. The back hoe is easy to operate and is controlled by only two levers. The Bowell BH-8 can be mounted to all tractors with Cat I or Cat II three-point hitch. Your tractor does not need any hydraulic interfaces because the BH-8 comes with its own PTO-shaft powered hydraulic system.
So far Bowell backhoes offered these hydraulic features:
- stabilizer feet up / down
- turn boom from left to right
- boom up / down
- dipperr arm up / down
- bucket open / close
The new 2023 versions of the Bowell backhoes come with extra hydraulic valves which enable extra features. This could be to open / close an optional tool like a wood grabber or to turn an optional pole digger by 360° to the left or right. Bowell backhoes are the only machines in this price level offering this wide range of features.

The backhoe is driven through your tractor´s PTO output, onto which the Bowell 2250psi hydraulic PTO-pump is mounted. The tractor´s hydraulic system is not used for the backhoe, since it comes with its own hydraulic tank. Due to the heigh weight of the Bowell BH-8 with about 600kg, you should use an extra front weight on very light weight tractors, despite the hydraulic stabilizers. Please check the weight recommendations of your tractor manufacturer.
The BH-8 can also stay mounted to your tractor when you drive on public roads, as it does not cover any lights and the hydraulic stabilizers give the backhoe very compact transport dimensions: 200x130x140cm (HxWxD). The max. working height is 338cm, the working radius is 308cm and the max. working depth is 235cm.
There are 5 different buckets from 23 to 90cm inside width for your BH-8 and a “thumb” which is a perfect grabbing device together with the buckets.
We from Bowell Tractor firmly believe that you will not find a better value for money back hoe in the market. Please feel free to compare our product to the others in the market and we are sure you will agree.
ATTENTION
Due to the back hoe size, we use a massive steel crate for delivery instead of the usual Bowell wooden box. Partially assembled machines do not contain any fuel , oil or other fluids or grease needed for operation. We recommend HLP46 hydraulic oil.! BEFORE USING THE MACHINE please carefully read the English user manual.
