About Backhoe Loaders

Great for digging a basement, picking up large quantities of dirt, loading lumber, rocks, mulch, or installing drainage, a backhoe (backhoe loader) will do the job perfectly as required by the operator, not to mention it will save time and has great potential to cut and manage expenses and labor costs of a team. Although, strong team of men and women can perform the same duties as a backhoe loader when equipped with the right tools, but it is time, safety, and cost effectiveness that makes a backhoe the better choice.

The backhoe loader was first introduced in the 1950s by JCB (Joseph Cyril Bamford – Possibly the only non-American in the Construction Hall of Fame –, a British company which developed the earliest version of the backhoe. Fully equipped with a hoe and front-mounted loading bucket this JCB creation quickly became the standard pattern for future backhoe loader designs of such companies as John Deere, New Holland, Bobcat and Caterpillar to name a few.

If you have ever had the opportunity to operate a backhoe loader, then you fully understand the need of such a powerful excavation tool. When equipped with attachments such as the shovel bucket, fork, plow, or blades the backhoe will not only operate effectively, but becomes more than just a powerful digging tool. Digging and cutting through rocks, clay, and hard earth clusters, the backhoe loader has a more sensitive side to it’s rough construction like exterior. If there is a need to plow snow in Michigan, lift heavy shipments in a warehouse, or smooth out land for your crops (scraper blade) the backhoe is just as effective when utilized appropriately with the proper attachments.

Powered with large, durable and rugged tires backhoes can easily move over rough terrains. However, not to be used or confused as an off-road vehicle, the backhoe makes up for it’s lack of speed with it’s power and endurance when performing man grueling tasks. The front-loading attachment can be used by the operator to smooth most surfaces, drag or push heavy items throughout the work site. Not big on construction? Backhoe loaders can also be outfitted with brooms, rakes, forks and a wide variety of attachments to suit your specific job duties or needs. There is no doubt why you should buy a backhoe loader, an effective, multi-purpose operational vehicle which can perform the duties of a ten man crew, faster, more effectively, and possibly even more accurately.
