Pipe Puller Compatibility Guidelines

The Pipe Puller is designed to operate under pressures of up to 3000 PSI and a flow rate of 90 li/m. For optimal performance, we recommend using a 35- to 50-size tracked mini excavator, such as a John Deere, Bobcat, or CAT. 

Using Larger Equipment

While larger excavators can be used, they may require specific adjustments. To ensure compatibility and safe operation, please get in touch with us for a detailed assessment of your requirements.

Backhoe Compatibility

Backhoes are generally not recommended due to the reduced versatility, higher pressure outputs, and, in some cases, the lack of reverse flow in their auxiliary systems.

Hydraulic Connector Considerations

Hydraulic connectors may differ for equipment larger than the recommended size. The Pipe Puller is equipped with ¾ quick hydraulic connectors, which may not directly match the connectors on larger machines. Additional adapters or modifications may be necessary.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE.

The Kobus Pipe Puller 400 mounts on most 35/50 mini excavators, such as John Deere, Bobcat, and CAT. Driven from the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics, the Puller generates up to 45,000lb (20tn), of pulling force. The bottom foot section rotates to allow the excavator to be positioned optimally for the best access.
