Houston Backhoe Buyers

Utility contractors repairing water, sewer and gas lines use backhoes daily. Small drainage and paving outfits pick them for ditches and culverts. Municipal contractors, homebuilders, and owner-operators who hire out by the day also buy them, because the machine digs, loads and moves in a single package.

What to Compare

Check digging depth, loader lift height, engine power and whether the machine is two- or four-wheel drive. An extendable stick, a side shift and a quick coupler on the loader add flexibility. Look at the operator cab and the air conditioning, which count in a hot, damp climate.

Looking Over a Used Backhoe in Houston

Backhoes work hard, so look for wear at the pivot points of the boom, stick and loader arms. Pins and bushings with play mean costly repairs. Lift the machine on its stabilizers, look for hydraulic leaks, and check the transmission and brakes. Look at the tires and the condition of the bucket teeth. Machines that spent years in wet trenches often show corrosion on the frame and wiring, so check connectors and fuse panels. Ask for the service book and the hours.

Paperwork

Match serial numbers to the bill of sale, and check for liens. A backhoe that travels on public roads may need registration depending on the state rules. If you are still deciding, backhoe loader rental in Houston is a low-risk start, and the Houston buying hub lists other categories.
