COMPACT backhoes <8 foot maximum dig depth

摘要

Part tractor, part loader, part excavator - compact backhoes build on their adaptability. Compact backhoe loaders with dig depths less than 8 feet generally weigh less than 5,000 pounds in work configurations. As such, they are turf-friendly and easy to transport - ideal for contractors engaged in light construction applications like site clearing, landscaping and residential utility work. Because they are physically small machines, they can work in backyards, between houses and around common urban obstacles that would seriously hamper the movements of larger equipment types. "A compact backhoe, on top of its versatility, is also a heavy-duty excavating machine," says Ken Paul, manager, compacts, Cub Cadet. "Backhoes in this class can do finesse work like dig holes for shrubs and trees, install utility lines or dig up stumps. They are fast, easy to use and precise."
