What Is a Backhoe

A backhoe attachment is a jointed, two-part arm hinged to a digging bucket. A tractor loader backhoe (TLB) is a three-piece machine made of a tractor base, loader bucket at the front and backhoe attachment at the rear. These TLB machines are commonly used for small to mid-sized excavation jobs or carrying materials.

Typically, backhoes can rotate about 180 degrees and are independently operated from the front loaders, with a separate seat and control panel. The unit is easily maneuverable and equipped with stabilizers to greatly improve job-site safety.

Our TLBs are perfect for:

• Landscaping
• Construction
• Property improvements
• Clearing broken asphalt or concrete
• Snow removal
