Backhoe loaders are heavy-duty pieces of equipment that can be used for a variety of tasks. Primarily excavation machines, they can do double-duty because they have working implements on both the front and the back of a tractor body.

A backhoe can dig to depths of 12 to 14 feet and can range from 20 to upwards of 100 horsepower (hp). Their versatility makes them a popular piece of construction equipment for tasks ranging from uprooting trees to moving material on work sites.

Backhoes are known for their versatility and maneuverability. They can be used on many job sites and can navigate rough terrain. They’re well suited to tasks such as digging, loading, trenching, and backfilling. They’re not just for construction projects, either. They can be used for agricultural, landscaping, paving, and other projects too.
