What is a backhoe loader? Backhoe loaders, often simply called "backhoes" or occasionally "digger-loaders," are tractor-based machines featuring a rear-mounted boom with a digging bucket and a front-mounted loader bucket. The operator's seat swivels for easy access to both front and rear controls. These versatile machines are widely used in agriculture, landscaping, construction, demolition, and mining due to their dual capability to dig and load materials efficiently. Read More

Understanding Backhoe Loaders

Backhoe loaders truly shine due to their versatility and ability to tackle a wide range of tasks across various industries, including excavation, material handling, grading, and demolition. Whether it's digging trenches for irrigation systems, sculpting landscapes, excavating graves, or removing stubborn tree stumps, these machines are up to the task. They're also invaluable for building structures like pole barns and can handle the demands of both residential and mid-sized commercial construction or demolition projects.

Backhoe Applications and Specifications

Backhoe Boom and Bucket Configuration

A backhoe loader's unique design features a boom and bucket at the rear, perfect for a variety of earthmoving tasks like digging and trenching. Depending on the model, these machines can dig anywhere from 10 feet deep to over 17 feet. This range in digging depth is really important when you're trying to figure out which size of backhoe loader will best suit your needs.

Backhoe Front Loader Configuration

In addition to the rear-mounted boom and bucket, backhoe loaders also feature a front-loading bucket, similar to that of a wheel loader. This front loader configuration allows for efficient material handling and loading, making it an ideal choice for projects that require both digging and lifting tasks. The front bucket capacity can range anywhere from 0.5 cubic yards to over 2.5 cubic yards, depending on the size and model.

A Range of Attachments

To make backhoe loaders more versatile, you can equip the boom with various attachments. These tools include augers for drilling, hammers and breakers for demolition, tiltrotators for better maneuverability, rippers for breaking up hard surfaces, and grappling tools like thumbs, grapplers, and tampers. A quick coupler allows for fast swapping of these attachments, boosting efficiency without requiring the operator to leave the cab.

Evaluating the Right Backhoe Size: Key Considerations

When choosing a backhoe loader, it's important to ask yourself the following questions to make sure the equipment can handle your specific needs:

  1. What will you primarily use the backhoe for? Figure out if you'll mainly be digging, demolishing, or moving materials.
  2. How deep do you need to dig and how much weight will you be lifting? Consider the average depth and heaviness of the materials you'll be working with.
  3. Are there any size restrictions at your work site? Take a look at the space where you'll be operating to determine what size loader will fit best.
  4. Do you need any additional tools for your tasks? Identify any attachments that will be needed for the the job.

Understanding Backhoe Sizes

Backhoes come in various sizes, each suited for different types of jobs. These sizes are categorized by their weight classes, which in turn influence their height, width, boom arm length, loader bucket dimensions, and digger/backhoe excavator bucket measurements. The average weight of a backhoe can vary significantly depending on its size category.

Backhoe Sizes and Weights

Backhoes are generally divided into three main weight classes. The names and precise specifications of these classes tend to vary by manufacturer. Below are the rough primary size categories:

Compact / Light Backhoes

  • Operating Weight: 6,000 to 14,000 pounds (2,722 to 6,350 kilograms)
  • Height: Around 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3 meters)
  • Width: Approximately 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters)
  • Horsepower: Typically ranges from 40 to 75 horsepower.

Standard / Mid-Size Backhoes

  • Operating Weight: 14,000 to 18,000 pounds (6,350 to 8,165 kilograms)
  • Height: About 10 to 11 feet (3 to 3.4 meters)
  • Width: Around 7 to 8 feet (2.1 to 2.4 meters)
  • Horsepower: Generally between 70 to 100 horsepower.

Large / Full-Size Backhoes

  • Operating Weight: 18,000 pounds and above (8,165 kilograms and above)
  • Height: Roughly 11 to 12 feet (3.4 to 3.7 meters)
  • Width: About 8 to 9 feet (2.4 to 2.7 meters)
  • Horsepower: Typically 100 horsepower or more, often up to 150 horsepower.

Boom Arm Lengths

The boom arm length of a backhoe can greatly affect its reach and digging depth:

  • Compact Backhoes: Typically have boom arms around 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.7 meters) long.
  • Standard Backhoes: Feature boom arms that are generally 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 meters) in length.
  • Large Backhoes: Equipped with boom arms ranging from 15 to 18 feet (4.6 to 5.5 meters) long.

Loader Bucket Dimensions

The loader bucket is the front bucket used for scooping and carrying materials. Its size varies by the backhoe's weight class:

  • Compact Backhoes: Loader buckets usually range from 0.5 to 1 cubic yard (0.38 to 0.76 cubic meters) in capacity.
  • Standard Backhoes: These buckets typically hold between 1 to 1.5 cubic yards (0.76 to 1.14 cubic meters).
  • Large Backhoes: Loader buckets can hold from 1.5 to 2.5 cubic yards (1.14 to 1.9 cubic meters) of material.

Digger/Backhoe Excavator Bucket Dimensions

The digger or backhoe excavator bucket is used for digging and is located at the rear of the machine.

  • Compact Backhoes: Excavator buckets generally range from 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 centimeters) in width.
  • Standard Backhoes: These buckets usually span from 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 centimeters) wide.
  • Large Backhoes: Excavator buckets can be as wide as 24 to 36 inches (61 to 91 centimeters).

Understanding backhoe weight and dimensions helps in choosing the right backhoe for your needs. From knowing how much a backhoe weighs to understanding how wide a backhoe is, each size class serves different construction needs.

Selecting the Right Horsepower for Your Backhoe Loader

Horsepower can vary wildly among the various sizes. Choosing a backhoe loader with the right horsepower is essential for project efficiency. 

  • The smallest tasks are best handled with 40+ horsepower for fuel efficiency and ease of maneuverability. 
  • Medium-duty tasks, such as trenching, need around 70+ horsepower for adequate depth and power.
  • Heavy-duty projects require 90+ horsepower for superior lifting and digging capabilities. 

Ensuring the correct horsepower guarantees optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

Backhoe Loader Prices

Curious about backhoe loader prices? They vary by size, condition, and brand. Here's an overview of average costs:

  • The average price of a new backhoe loader in 2024 is around $93,000.
  • Smaller new backhoes typically start at $24,860, while larger models can range from $62,100 to over $205,000.
  • Used backhoes, on average, are about 30% cheaper than new ones. This means the average price of a used backhoe is approximately $65,100.
  • When it comes to used small-sized backhoes, they can cost around $17,400 or less depending on their age and condition.
  • For larger used backhoes, prices usually start at approximately $43,470 and can go up to $143,500 or more based on their age and condition.

Keep in mind that these prices are just estimates and may vary depending on various factors such as local market conditions and specific model features.
