Backhoe Loader
Backhoe loaders represent the most popular piece of construction equipment with only the skid steer representing as many sales. With the demand for backhoe loaders manufacturers are trying new innovations such as hydraulic systems, increasing the capacity of a loader, backhoe drive systems and cab features to swing business their way. This leads to greater choices for a backhoe loader than ever before.
Many equipment manufacturers that might not have produced backhoe loaders in the past are scrambling to add them to their product line in order to satisfy their dealers' needs and prevent them from filling that need with a competitors' model. This healthy competition has brought such manufacturers as Komatsu, Terex and Volvo into the North American large machine and backhoe loader category.
Hydraulics are the new boys on the block with Caterpillar having begun the assault with their 1980's loader. Backhoes offering closed-center hydraulic systems are all the rage. Open-center hydraulics on backhoe loaders remains the standard on Case, JCB, New Holland and the most recent John Deere machines. They claim to improve the operator's ability to ‘feel' the project in fine-control situations.
