![]() ![]() In North America, this arrangement is often referred to as simply a backhoe, or when on a chassis originally derived from farm tractors, a tractor-loader backhoe. The buckets on some backhoes may be reconfigured facing forward, making them "hoes".Ī tractor-loader backhoe (TLB) is a tractor-like vehicle with a backhoe at the rear, a front loader on the other and a swivelling seat to position the operator facing whichever direction is needed at the time. That is, a backhoe digs by drawing earth backwards, rather than lifting it with a forward motion like a person shovelling, a steam shovel, or a bulldozer. The term "backhoe" refers to the action of the bucket, not its location on the vehicle. Kobelco Excavator in shovel configuration
