Tractors and backhoe loaders

The backhoe loader has its origins in agriculture. The first backhoe loaders consisted of a tractor with a front loader and an assembled rear excavator unit. At that time, the rear wheels had a coarser profile and were larger than the front wheels. At that time there were no hydraulic supports or comfortable cabins with electronic controls. The performance was also severely limited. A powerful backhoe loader only became a reality after the development of more powerful diesel engines and suitable drive systems. Nowadays, backhoe loaders are no longer simple machines. Over time, they became agile multi-purpose devices that replaced several individual bones. Joseph Cyril Amford built the first backhoe loader in 1953 - then known as the Major Loader. However, the real milestone came in 1961 with the JCB 3. A model on which most of the models of the past 40 years were based. Today you can buy a variety of JCB backhoe loaders, or buy new ones.

 

Tractors - the origin of every backhoe loader The backhoe loader is actually a tractor. However, with its integrated hydraulics, power take-off or electrical system, it can drive a wide variety of machines. The variety of attachments for tractors is remarkable. Basically, these are divided into three categories:

 

Attachments where the tractor is used as a towing vehicle. E.g.plow, trailer, tank truck, roller, tedder, mower trimmer, harrow, seed drill, etc

 

Equipment that is pulled or carried and powered by hydraulics or the PTO. E.g. Mounted forklift, bale grab, combine harvester, potato planter, front loader, etc. Devices that are also operated via the hydraulics or the PTO shaft, but only stationary. For example, choppers, wind sweeps, circular saws, manure mixers. Farmers who buy used tractors should think carefully about their purchase decision, because what is most important is compatibility with the most common attachments.The backhoe loader has its origins in agriculture.
