It all makes perfect sense: when construction spending is strong, contractors spend the bucks for new or new-to-them equipment. But now construction spending is mired in a triple whammy — the much-ballyhooed stimulus money has not lived up to its promise, housing remains mired and now highway reauthorization funding is in extension limbo.

14-to-15-foot-dig-depth-class backhoes address control preferences With backhoes, it’s all about the hydraulics, especially in the production-minded 14- and 15-foot dig depth size classes. Still-popular manual controls, mechanically connected to the hydraulic spool in the valve block, give operators a sense of feel, but also have longer throws, requiring more effort.
