Operating Techniques for the Tractor – Loader – Backhoe Published By: Equipment Training Resources The modern Tractor-Loader-Backhoe has become the most useful machine in general construction, and it has gained that reputation since its introduction in the late 1950s. this reputation as the “most useful” is due to the wide-ranging tasks that the machine is capable of preforming. These wide-ranging jobs, in turn, demand that operators have the knowledge, skills, and experience required for safety and productivity. The first edition of this book, Operating Techniques for the Tractor-Loader-Backhoe, published in 1983, was written simply as an information source covering standard machine operations and procedures. Over the years, training programs sought it out for its practical and detailed information. This revised edition has been greatly expanded to provide even more detailed information for operators and training programs, such as: the physics of operation, machine control guidelines, safety considerations, and preventing damage to existing utilities.
