To ensure optimum performance, the tractor’s hydraulic flow and increased system pressure are matched with the backhoe’s system enhancing the digging force and overall performance.

Key features include:

• Valve spools have machined-metering grooves to allow smooth operation and precise control of several functions
• Improved feel and feathering capabilities
• Durable sub frame to ensure the tractor frame can handle the forces created from digging and transporting
• Buckets are designed for optimum productivity; available bucket widths are 20.3 cm (8 in.), 30.5 cm (12 in.), and 40.6 cm(16in.)
• Mechanical thumb allows movement of large and/or uneven-shaped objects
• Mid-mount mower compatibility prevents the need to remove mid-mower deck when the backhoe is installed
• 3-point hitch draft arms remain on the tractor and aid in the quick-attach feature of the 270B Backhoe

The operator station on the 270B Backhoe has been designed for improved operator comfort.

• A strong 3-point stance can be maintained when mounting and dismounting the backhoe using the rollover protective structure (ROPS) grab handle, the console grab handle, and the large boarding step mounted to the stabilizer arm.
• Boom and swing locks are accessible from the operator’s seat and have a built-in storage location when the backhoe is in use
• High-back seat provides more operator comfort during longer work hours
• Operator platform with non-slip grips are provided

There are several features that make the 270B Backhoe convenient and easy to operate.

• Seat pivots up when not in use to prevent damage during transport. This feature also keeps debris from collecting on the seat.
• Low-profile console allows an unobstructed view of the working area
• Two-lever control is used for boom lift, swing, dipper stick, and bucket
• Streamlined control valve and console provides better visibility to the digging area
• User-friendly, two-lever control is used for boom lift, swing dipper stick, and bucket
• Cushioned boom cylinder provides smooth operation and prevents abrupt contact with the backhoe frame when raising the boom.

The boom and dipper are designed with the strength to handle the large loads put on these powerful backhoes.

The 270B Backhoe offers improved attachability, and is compatible with mid-mount mower decks, loader, and front 3-point hitch. The rear 3-point hitch draft arms also remain on the tractor and is also used to install the 270B backhoe. Due to a clear instructional decal and improved tolerance, attaching the 270B Backhoe has never been easier.
