The backhoe loader is a piece of excavation equipment nearly everyone has seen. Most children have had a Tonka version even. It’s a tractor that has a scoop in the front that can push and life dirt, as well as a more maneuverable scoop and bucket with a near robot arm on the back. Due to their setup and move ability, they are extremely useful on construction sites and other places needing excavation.The backhoe loader was invented in 1857 in Burlington Iowa. It was designed similar to the classic farm tractor. It was simply a loader in front of it, and a backhoe attachment in the rear.  For further reading forklifts and pallets
