Backhoe 101

Backhoes-CoverBackhoes are a very useful machine but can be tricky to operate if you don’t know how. Not only tricky but very dangerous as well. Over the years we’ve had folks wanting to know how to operate a backhoe for that day when they might need to or so they could purchase their own to do large chores around the property.

With this in mind I wrote a small book about how to purchase a backhoe and how to operate, including safety tips as well. Even before we sold the backhoe I went did a walk through about the backhoe and its functions, even did a short video on the dozer as well. In the book are the details for the 2 hour video. The book and video are only downloadable at this time.
