Whether needed for site preparation, dig-
ging, trenching, installing or site clean-up,
backhoe loaders are handy to have on any
landscaping and irrigation project. Con-
tractors often use backhoe loaders, over
dedicated machines, when it comes to in-
stalling new or repairing existing under-
ground infrastructure as a way to save time
and money. In fact, backhoe loaders can
help increase productivity and reduce oper-
ational costs because they can handle deep-
digging, as well as heavy-lifting, tasks.
"Backhoe loaders are designed with the
specific purpose of being adaptable," said
Jonathan Ferguson, regional sales manager,
Terex Construction Americas. "They are the
perfect tool for landscaping and irrigation
installation applications because they enable
operators to use one machine to complete
the majority of tasks on any jobsite."
