If you’ve ever driven through construction sites, you might have noticed a good deal of heavy equipment bearing digging arms, and pushing these arms deep into the ground to break it. Such equipment are called backhoes.

Backhoes are also referred to as rear actors or back actors. They consist of a digging bucket on the end of a stick or dipper, are powered by hydraulics, and are mounted on the back of front loaders or tractors, hence the name. Nowadays, backhoes can be mounted on the front of an excavating vehicle, or on the side, depending on the need of the construction company, or the structure of the site being excavated.

Backhoe for Sale?

If you are interested in buying a backhoe, you can search websites on the Internet where they offer a backhoe for sale. Top companies offering backhoes include John Deere; Deere backhoes are known for their durability and strength, and they can be purchased online.

When buying backhoes, make sure that you check the equipment for scratches or damages. Ask for a test run, and be sure to inquire about troubleshooting techniques. The last thing you want is a brand new backhoe that keeps going to and from the repair shop.

Used Backhoes

If you are running over budget in your construction, or if you have a limited budget for your project, then you can also buy used backhoes. There are many sources to get used backhoes for sale, whether online, or at your local dealership. Just be sure to get a good background of the used backhoe, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. How many times has the backhoe been repaired? How long has it been used? Has it been purchased before?

A backhoe is an investment, so press on with the inquiries to make sure that you are getting your money’s worth.

Whether you select a brand new backhoe for your deep excavation or a used backhoe to keep within budget of your construction work, make sure that the equipment you select is well maintained. Backhoes do a lot of back-breaking labor, and they shouldn’t break down in the middle of an important project.
