The Different Marketed and Manufactured Types of Backhoe Loaders
As with anything, there is always competition to produce a better and more efficient product to put out on the market, and in the construction and excavation equipment market there are several reputable companies. Each company tweaks and innovatively upgrades the latest tools needed in the industry, and in this case, the product is the backhoe loader. The leading names in this industry are: Caterpillar, Bobcat, New Holland, Case, Ingersoll-Rand, Komatsu, John Deere and Terex. All of these companies bring their own version and styled backhoe loader to the market. The Backhoe Loader from Caterpillar Caterpillar is well known worldwide for its ability to bring power and performance to anything it manufactures. Caterpillar introduced to the market the top-of-the-line backhoe loader model 446, which is part of the Caterpillar D series version of this type of machinery. The Caterpillar 446 backhoe loader has 102 HP and features a new upgraded operator station, with the choice of optional joystick controls. With this backhoe loader, the dig forces on its bucket has improved and increased 10%. The Backhoe Loader from Bobcat Bobcat, another quality manufacturer, has brought to the competition a compact backhoe loader. It has introduced its new and second generation of compact backhoe loaders in its Bobcat B series with an improved power boost. The B100 backhoe loader from Bobcat has 31.5 HP and has received a 45% increase in bucket breakout force as well as a 27% leap in the force of the dipper. Bobcat also introduced the B300 backhoe loader, which has 46 HP, 44% increase in breakout force of the dipper, and an increase of 21% in the breakout force for the bucket. Bobcats B series has three models: the B100, the B300, and the B250. The B250 is similar to the B300, although it is smaller, but features all wheel steering and four wheel drive. The Backhoe Loader from New Holland New Holland has brought four backhoe loader models to the market. Each one of New Holland's backhoe loaders uses a 4.5-liter turbocharged Tier 2 engine. It is this new engine type and several other new upgrade features that went into New Hollands new B series. The New Holland B series backhoe loaders offer minimal effort pilot controls, giving the operator the choice between an excavator pattern and a loader style pattern. The Backhoe Loader from Case To keep up with the competition, Case had to add quite a lot to its M series backhoe loaders. Case switched to family three engines in order to meet Tier 2 standards for emissions. A few luring perks of the Case M series backhoe loaders are that these new machines are much quieter than the older models and they have a larger displacement engine, which makes for better lugging capacity. Another upgrade was the increased torque rise that makes for faster cycles for loader and backhoe operations. With the Case M series backhoe loaders, you get convenience, which comes in the form of 500-hour intervals between oil changes, and ease of access to the transmission mounted hydraulic pumps. The Backhoe Loader from Ingersoll-Rand Ingersoll-Rand introduced a backhoe loader that can reach impressive digging depths of up to 12 feet. The BL-580 backhoe loader model from Ingersoll-Rand, when working as a loader, has the operating capacity of about 3,406 pounds and a breakout force of about 9,370 pounds. In this model, both the loader and backhoe have been fitted with standard form auxiliary hydraulics with a two-way flow and this accommodates different attachments. Some of the attachments include booms, breakers, augers and compactors. Other appealing features are the hydrostatic four-wheel drive that is exceptional for power and traction, and the all wheel steering that give a tight radius. The Backhoe Loader from Komatsu In order to keep up with competition, Komatsu stepped it up a notch when it announced it would be introducing five models of backhoe loaders that would have an optional excavator styled joystick control. Other upgrades included with their new lineup are the increased hydraulic speed, durable components and a Tier 2 engine. This series features the Komatsu WB 140 that has 87 HP and the WB 150 that has 94 HP. The Komatsu models have four speed mechanical transmissions that come complete with a torque converter. The Komatsu WB 150 model has an all-star wheel design, impressive power-shift transmission and an important anti-theft system.
The Backhoe Loader from John Deere We cannot speak about construction equipment without mentioning the company of John Deere. John Deere has brought its model 410 H backhoe loader to the market, and this quality machine offers the operator 92 HP. With the 410 H, the operator will have a total machine control system. The total machine control system has integrated the control of the engine, transmission, the hydraulics and even the brakes, which all add up to a more efficient machine that can stand up to the demands of the job. The Backhoe Loader from Terex Terex took a shortcut and acquired a line from Fermec, which it then took and upgraded in order to market a very impressive line of backhoe loaders. Terex has marketed several models in this line, two of which are the TX 760B and the TX 860B. The TX 760B has 92 HP, while the TX 860B has 100 HP. Also in this line are the 860SX, 860 Elite and the 970 Elite, each having 100 HP. The 760 and 860 Terex models have features like four speed shuttle gearboxes and they can travel at speeds of up to about 25.8 miles per hour, making them fast and efficient backhoe loaders.
