A John Deere backhoe is a versatile piece of heavy equipment used in construction. This one piece of equipment can perform the work of a bulldozer, front end loader and excavator. This combined usefulness is the reason why backhoes are usually the first investments in construction companies.

A typical John Deere backhoe is made up of a tractor base, a front loader attachment and a scooper bucket. It is a four-wheeled vehicle with an operator cab in the middle that is driven directly onto construction sites. As diesel-powered equipment, it is easier to maneuver compared to other heavy equipment that uses external power to operate and often need to be towed on-site.

Most people think that a John Deere backhoe is only for digging holes, pushing dirt and refilling trenches. However, this piece of heavy equipment can be used for a variety of tasks. With the right attachment, a typical backhoe is transformed for nontraditional function.

There are different types of attachments available in the market intended to change the function of your backhoe. An auger can be attached to a typical backhoe to drill holes in all types of soil. An asphalt cutter attachment can make going under cement easier. Other attachments provide additional versatility to a backhoe like grinders, crushers, buckets and more.

In buying a backhoe, there are few things you have to consider. The operator’s comfort must be a top priority. Heavy equipment with enclosed cabs and air conditioning are a few options. Visibility of the operator should also be a key concern. The control system should also be tested thoroughly for sensitivity.

To save money, sometimes buying second hand heavy equipment is better. There are some heavy equipment auction sites that can give you good deals on a John Deere backhoe. Most online heavy equipment auction sites provide pictures of heavy equipment for potential buyer to go through. However, before you buy your John Deere backhoe it is still best to try it out to see if it works.
