A backhoe loader is a versatile machine in that it can perform many jobs very well. It is able to dig, push, haul, and load because of its shovel/bucket in the front and a small backhoe on the back.
Backhoe loaders can be used for a wide variety of tasks: small demolitions, transport of building materials, powering equipment, digging holes, landscaping, breaking asphalt, and paving roads.
