Choosing backhoe loaders for the job

Compare digging depth, extendable dipper, loader performance, four-wheel drive, control pattern and attachment plumbing. A backhoe can reduce mobilizations, while a dedicated excavator and loader may outperform it on specialized work.

Machine types and configurations

  • Standard digging depth
  • Extendable dipper
  • Side-shift
  • Four-wheel-steer
  • Tool-carrier configurations

Specifications that matter

SpecificationWhy it matters
Digging depthShows whether the configured machine fits the required work envelope.
Loader bucket capacityMust suit the material, work envelope, machine geometry and configuration.
Operating weightDefines machine class, transport exposure and stability context.
HorsepowerCompare the same power rating standard and the demands of the intended work.
Extendable dipperCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Four-wheel driveCompare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Auxiliary hydraulicsDetermines powered-attachment capability and circuit requirements.

Before buying used

  • Check kingpost, swing tower and stabilizer wear
  • Inspect transmission, axles and brakes during road travel
  • Test both loader and backhoe hydraulic circuits under load
Ownership costs to consider

Cost drivers

  • Kingpost and swing tower
  • Transmission, axles and brakes
  • Stabilizers and extendable dipper
  • Loader and backhoe pins and cylinders
Plan your transport

Transport checklist

  • Stow loader and backhoe for travel
  • Retract extendable dipper
  • List buckets, forks and hammer
  • Do not assume roadability replaces transport compliance
