Model shown represents features on all Cat® Backhoes except where indicated.
BH130, Smart
Backhoes
Cat® Backhoes are used in typical backhoe applications such as digging footings, basements, and drainage ditches, utility trenching, back-filling, and maintaining slopes and embankments in construction, industrial, and landscaping settings. They are ideal for demolishing concrete when paired with Cat B4/B6/H45/H55/H65 hammers.
The BH130 Smart Backhoe does more than just turn an indicator light on in the cab; although it does that, too. The first step is attachment recognition. The D3 or next gen (05A) host machine recognizes that there is a BH130 attached to the machine. This activates a dedicated machine display to allow options for the BH130 to be selected. As a smart attachment, the BH130 allows for pattern change. That is, the existing machine joysticks are re-purposed to perform functions on the attachment.
