Pull-behind attachment or loader bucket not getting the job done? It’s time to upgrade to the BACKHUS® A30 compost turner – priced like an entry level turner but with the performance of a premium machine. The time savings alone will have you wondering how you ever got by without it!

The robust A30 compost turner comes complete with many of the features of the much larger BACKHUS machines but on a compact chassis. Small and light enough to be pulled a by car trailer, but powerful enough to turn over 900 cubic yards per hour, the A30 is another reason to invest in the best – BACKHUS.

The BACKHUS A30 compost turner delivers. Diesel powered and self-propelled, the BACKHUS A30 easily turns windrows up to 10′ wide and 4′ tall and is a breeze to operate and just as easy to maintain.
