Truck Mounted Backhoe

You can buy these through GSA....they are a maintenance nightmare.

Ohhh that's what you were looking for...I thought you were looking for this.

You get a link because of the stupid 640x640 photo dimensions.

Burnout - I'll wager that's the fastest Case in the county!

Excavator on Unimog

Old55Pete I believe the Unimog's you speak of were called the SEE which stood for Small Emplacement Excavator, pretty neat idea and I think the backhoe attachment was from the old 580's where they had to boom cylinders.
TAM do you have any more pictures of that Unimog excavator you posted?

We have mounted several excavators / backhoes on Unimog.

I remeber seeing as a kid growing up in the late 1960s early 1970s a late 60s GMC truck most likely a C30/C35 With a old JONH DEERE Backhoe On it. has anyone seen some thing like and please post pics if they have them used to be quite common to mount a backhoe on a truck

I know this thread is pretty old but if your still wondering you should check out jjkane.com. they do a lot of utility company auctions and are the only place I've ever seen them sold. they're getting harder to find because of micro excavators but you'll see them every once in a while.

I just seen this old post for the first time. UNIMOG made the loader/backhoe setup on the 406 chassis and marketed them thru Case in the U.S. As the base machine was only 10 ft long they were only geared for 40 MPH. The state of Minnesota had a bunch of them in the later 70s.

No these aren't unimogs they're internationals some as new as 2003 usually with a john deere hoe. I've honestly only ever sean them at the jjkane auctions in illinois indiana and michigan. midwest thing i guess

Yes, these are seen regularly/daily as the truck mounted backhoe is quite popular since they are in utility company(ies)' gas service work fleet. A notable truck body mfg in Pomona California shows this nicely on their web page.
