Allmand mini backhoe

Ellis Kinney · Mar 14, 2012

A fellow down the road from my farm has an Allmand mini backhoe for sale. $14,000. I stopped to look at it yesterday. I have never heard of this brand, but it appears to be in decent shape. I'm sure someone on this site can shed some light on this machine. Thanks, Ellis

I have one- R25, I think is the number- its the smallest model, and probably 20 years old- I paid $6,000 for it at Ritchie Brothers, and from what I've seen on the net, that was about right. Several other models, more recent and bigger, so can't comment on the $14,000 price.

I sure like mine- hydrostatic drive, front loader (which I have never even tried to use- because I have a loader tractor for that sort of thing). Backhoe is great- very smooth controls, speed is just right, and of course you have take smaller bites, but it sure beats a #2 shovel.

Built like a brick outhouse, too- If price of that unit is in line, I'd get it, if you have need for it.

They have a good website- allmand dot com. American company.

Unless it is just a few years old that price is too high. What I found was that you can buy a full size backhoe for what these mini hoes are selling for. You can get a Case 580K MFWD for in the same price range. I found a Case 580L MFWD with full cab for $18K with new tires three years ago.

The Allmand Bros back hoe is a Bradco back hoe attachment. Allmand Bros just build the drive line frame and loader.
