A material handling and metal shear attachment for a backhoe is mounted on the boom or dipstick of a backhoe for actuation by the hydraulic system of the backhoe. A fixed blade is pivotally secured to the boom or dipstick and a movable cutting blade is pivoted to the fixed blade, a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly mounted on the fixed blade moves the movable cutting blade in shearing relation to the fixed blade. The fixed and movable blades are shaped and positioned relative to their pivotal engagement to move objects being sheared towards the blades pivotal engagement rather than away therefrom.
