Cukurova 88 expert review
:quality(50)/60952/a25e1d76-5098-4ef7-a6f5-fe8bc1dffd1a.jpeg)
Overview
The Cukurova 88 series is a Turkish-built backhoe loader range focused on stronger digging and modern driveline features. With powershuttle transmissions, optional 4WD, and ROPS/FOPS cabs, it targets demanding utility work.
Pros
High breakout for the class, powershuttle improves cycle efficiency, excellent cab visibility.
Cons
Finish quality below premium brands, parts availability varies by region.
Efficiency
The 56.67 kW engine and ~290 Nm torque deliver confident trenching, with over 5.2 t breakout. Powershuttle transmission reduces shift fatigue, while 4WD maintains traction.
In Cabin
ROPS/FOPS protection, wide glass areas, and simple controls support safe, quick learning on site.
In Comparison
Against MF 50 and MF 60, the Cukurova 88 leads in breakout force and offers a more modern transmission and visibility.
Final Verdict
A 5-star value backhoe loader that brings real digging gains over older MF platforms without premium pricing.
