The backhoe was conceived 72 years ago by a Massachusetts company. It created a smaller version of the mechanical steam shovel’s bucket and boom arrangement and attached it to the back of a farm tractor. A second section of the boom (dipper stick) hydraulically pivots at the end of the fixed section so the bucket can scoop up material. Hydraulically operated horizontal stabilizers on each side of the machine create a firm platform for digging. A hydraulic loader commonly is mounted on the tractor’s front end, giving the machine digging and loading versatility.
