Nobody has a backhoe loader on offer in Los Angeles through this site yet. Shopping for one? Write up a purchase request with your budget and the work you have in mind. Parting with one? Put it on the free listing form. Backhoes in other metros are gathered on the national page.
A buyer rings the owner, climbs on the machine, haggles over the figure and arranges the collection. EquipmentsFinder does not touch that conversation, and it bills the buyer for nothing.
Sewer and water repair outfits that cut up old city streets often run a single backhoe all year. Hillside drainage and landscape companies lean on one for regrading and footings. Property maintenance firms and school or park departments buy for repairs and loading, and municipal yards replace aging units now and then.
Digging depth, the capacity of the front bucket and the choice of a fixed or extendable arm are the first things to settle. Four-wheel drive earns its price on slopes and loose fill. Pilot controls spare the operator's wrists, and a hydraulic coupler lets one machine swap between a bucket and a breaker in a minute. In congested neighborhoods, overall width decides whether a unit clears a gate.
A cheap diesel backhoe that cannot legally work in this state is a poor bargain. The state keeps a close eye on off-road diesel engines, so ask for the engine model year and tier, plus the paperwork that backs them, and confirm today's requirements with the right agency before money changes hands.
The pivot points wear first. Wiggle the swing and boom pins, look for bent stabilizer legs, and scan loader arms for cracks beside welds. Start it cold and note any smoke or hesitation. Hold the controls under pressure to see whether the hydraulics creep. Match the hour meter to the maintenance book, and compare wear on the front and rear tires. If you only need trenching for a month, rent a backhoe in Los Angeles first.
Unless the yard is around the corner, plan on a trailer. Other equipment families are on the Los Angeles buying page.
