Used Backhoes – Considerations
When you are buying a used backhoe, there are a few characteristics that one should bear in mind that can make your purchase of a backhoe meet all of the objectives.
Your first question should be in regards to the cost and dimensions of the backhoe. What kind of space do you have, what kind of work do you need done, and what kind of budget do you have? If you have a budget of thirty thousand dollars, there is a large range of backhoes you can choose from, but if you are dealing with a budget under ten thousand, then you will need to make some hard decisions.
I’ll list a set of questions you should think about when evaluating the backhoe. What are your digging depth requirements? A medium sized backhoe can comfortably dig at twelve feet.
Conversely, how does the backhoe arm length and height match up with your dump truck, or your dumping area?
What certified repair facilities are available in your area? With construction equipment, this is a key factor.
What surface are you working on? If you are working on asphalt, will you be using some stabilizer legs that may damage the asphalt. You may also need to consider four wheel drive.
Manual transmission for backhoes offers the same benefits for backhoes as it does for cars – less expensive for the initial purchase, and repair, more control. An automatic transmission will offer convenience for long drives, and while you are operating the backhoe, one less thing to worry about.
Do you need to transport your backhoe to multiple work sites? With a backhoe, you may be able to actually drive on the road. Otherwise, think about the trailer towing capacity you need to take this backhoe.
Remember to consider your needs. A contractor or worker may really need the strong capabilities of an excavator, but the dual purpose nature of the backhoe will draw him or her in because of the future potential of other work.
When choosing a backhoe brand, familiarity with operation is key. Reputation for quality is highly dependent on who you talk to. Well known types of construction backhoes include
the World Famous Caterpillar, Japanese Kotsuma, and then other well known companies such as Case, John Deere, Woods, Kobelco, Volvo, and Hitachi.
