The Lewis backhoes are easily fitted to a chassis fixed to the tractor
and can be removed in less than five minutes. The backhoe has its own hydraulic oil reservoir and pump
which is fitted to your tractor's P.T.O. This allows the machine to be
attached to and detached from the tractor without connecting or disconnecting
any hydraulic supplies.
The design of the operators area includes a non-slip floor and safety
hand rail to ensure that access on and off the machine is as safe as possible.
There are a variety of Lewis buckets to suit
all backhoes and digging conditions.

Depending on your tractor and the model of backhoe, Lewis backhoes can
be attached by either standard 3-point-linkage or by a custom made combination
of backhoe beams and a tractor mounted under-chassis.
Lewis tractor beams are available for many compact tractor models and
provide a very secure and reliable fixing point for our backhoes allowing a fitting/removal time of less than 5 minutes.

Backhoe quick attachment
|
- Reverse towards the machine and align the spigots on the tractor chassis with the relevant slots in the backhoe beams.
- Connect the backhoe pump to the PTO. ( Some backhoes
can be operated by using the tractors own hydraulic supply, in these cases, there is no need for a pump or an independent hydraulic system.)
- Use the control valves of the backhoe to raise the boom arm slowly. This will allow the location of pins/bolts at the front of the backhoe beams to be located in their sockets in the tractor beams (fitting type dependant on backhoe/tractor model).
- Secure the front mountings with the supplied lynch pins to complete the fitting process.
