The extendible dipper arm on the XR911 backhoe attachment from Thomas Equipment stretches the backhoe's standard 9-foot hoe to 11 feet. In the retracted position, the XR911 Xtreme Reach develops 5,500 pounds of breakout force. When you need more reach, step on a foot pedal on the operator's platform and the stick extends 2 feet for a loading height of 8 feet 4 inches. Estimated list price: $10,207 (w/o bucket).
