MIDWAY Sales has a new range of three-point linkage-mounted backhoes.

The Hanmey BH series backhoes are made to suit smaller horsepower tractors and have two boom options.

A fixed boom is for all-round use, while the side-shift boom hydraulically shifts to either edge of the tractor to allow digging closer to fence lines and buildings.

Hanmey's backhoes come in two drive styles - the universal models can be retrofitted to many brands of tractors, while other models specially designed to fit East Wind tractors are driven through the tractor's hydraulic oil remote outlets.

There are three models in the range.

The 175 can be used on tractors with 18.6-22.4kW engine power, the 195 is best suited to 22.4-33.6kW and the 225 can be used on 37.3-48.5kW tractors. The two smaller models have 300mm wide buckets while the 225 has a bucket width of 400mm.

Prices start at $7500. For more details, phone 1300 467 536 or visit the Midway Sales website
