Abstract
General use of mini backhoe loader construction machines; Loading is done with the bucket at the front and digging is done with the backhoe at the back. Since the machine is small in size, it can be used in orchards, greenhouses and narrow agricultural areas. However, in order for agricultural equipment to be used with this machine, radical changes were needed. In this study, an adapter design that can be easily mounted on the mini backhoe loader and connected to the agricultural equipment was made using the CREO Parametric package 3D design program. The adapter design has been made to be suitable for use with a single operator. In this context, stab cylinders were added on the adaptor and a quick coupler system was used. In addition, high flow rate application allows the use of different agricultural attachments both at the front and at the rear.
In this paper, structural design details, analysis and applications of the integrated attachment are shared. An adapter has been designed to work well with attachments requiring 65 HP and lower power, and its functional suitability has been ensured.
