Past and present advantages related to performance

The 485 Backhoe has the following quality operating characteristics:

  • Valve spools with machined metering grooves allow smooth operation and exact control of multiple functions
  • Excellent feathering capabilities
  • Buckets available in 12-, 18-, and 24-in. widths

The exclusive rockshaft assist (RSA) mounting system (patent pending) makes hooking up the backhoe simple and quick.

  • Unique 4-point quick-attach system allows operator to install the backhoe to the tractor from the seat.
  • The RSA design positions the backhoe closer to the tractor.
  • RSA mount plates stay on the tractor and are compatible with mid-mount tractor attachments.

To attach:

  • Back tractor up to the backhoe.
  • Raise rockshaft arms.
  • Pins in rockshaft arm engage hooks on backhoe.
  • Raise rockshaft arms to full up position.
  • Install pins.
  • Connect backhoe hydraulics to power beyond.
  • Backhoe is ready to use.

To detach:

  • Disconnect hydraulic hoses from the backhoe. Reconnect tractor hydraulics.
  • Raise rockshaft to full up position.
  • Remove pins. Can be attached or detached without the use of tools.
  • Lower backhoe to the ground and drive away.
  • Tractor is now ready for other work.
Operator comfort features
Operator station Operator station

The controls on the 485 Backhoe operator console are arranged for optimal comfort, especially important for workdays.

  • The controls for the backhoe stabilizers are located on the control tower, which allows easier access to the operator station
  • A curved power boom gives the operator a better view of the digging area
  • The transport lock system allows the swing and boom to be locked simultaneously without leaving the seat
  • The backhoe features an improved seat-locking mechanism to keep the seat out of the way when the backhoe is not in use
  • Sturdy grab handle on the control tower ensures ease of ingress/egress 
  • Backhoe step for mounting/dismounting is located on the cylinder and painted green for easier spotting during ingress/egress Streamlined control valve and console—no straddling of hydraulic valve with your knees.
  • Low-mounted valve that allows knee and legroom and keeps heat generated within the valve stack down and away from the operator
  • Low noise level due to a low-mounted hydraulic valve
  • Two-lever control to operate boom lift, swing dipperstick, and position bucket
  • Walk-through operator area for easy ingress/egress and maximum comfort
  • Large footrest that is also perforated to allow debris to pass through
  • Direct linkage of control levers to valves provides better feel than cables
  • User-friendly controls
  • Backhoe seat is adjustable both vertically and horizontally
  • Closed boom and dipper give added strength to backhoe
  • Folding rollover protective structure (ROPS) is required on all tractors using the backhoe
Quik-Tatch subframe mounting system for quick mounting and dismounting

The backhoe's mainframe fits into rear mounting brackets installed on the tractor. This provides the following important features:

  • Vertical or side-to-side movement is virtually eliminated, providing more stability. The design of the mainframe also positions the entire backhoe close to the tractor. Operators are also able to benefit from the total weight transfer between the backhoe stabilizers and loader bucket.
  • The tractor chassis is protected because the mainframe integrates the tractor and backhoe combination together as one.
  • Improved quick-coupler hydraulic connection.
Serviceability and angle of departure
Platform is easy to remove for service Platform is easy to remove for service
  • Platform is easy to remove for service and to gain access to the valve; the grab handle can be used to lift the entire valve assembly of the backhoe without removing or adjusting control linkages
  • Efficient hose routing for better serviceability
  • Removal of seat post to access valve requires removal of only one bolt
  • Simple design for improved access to hydraulic couplers for attaching and detaching
  • Externally mounted boom cylinder provides improved serviceability
  • The 485 Backhoe features an improved angle of departure of 20 degrees; allows the tractor-mounted backhoe to be loaded onto a trailer more easily, with less need to worry about whether the backhoe bucket will drag the ground as the tractor is driven onto the trailer
Replaceable bushings

Replaceable and greaseable bushings are provided at key pivot points throughout the backhoe. This increases longevity.

  • Mainframe bushings
  • Swing frame bushing
Enclosed boom and dipper give extra strength to backhoe
Enclosed boom and dipper Enclosed boom and dipper

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

 

The boom cylinder is run externally on the 485 Backhoe. This provides better serviceability.

Powerful 180-degree swing
Double-acting cylinder swing system
Double-acting cylinder swing system Double-acting cylinder swing system

The 485 Backhoe features twin hydraulic cylinders to control the swing.

  • Direct coupling of two double-acting swing cylinders to the swing frame gives precise control
  • Double-acting swing cylinders are direct-coupled to the swing frame
    • A very compact swing system
    • The large cylinders provide extra torque for backfilling
  • The 485 Backhoe's swing system design and subframe mounting allows the backhoe to be close-coupled to the tractor for improved stability

Rubber stabilizer pads are available as an attachment. The pads are popular when operating the backhoe on hard surfaces.

  • Rubber stabilizer pads keep scratching and damage to floor surfaces minimal
