Included in the heavy earthmoving division, the backhoe was the only backhoe loader on the list.
The B Series B backhoe loaders, ranging from 72 to 82kW, were chosen for design enhancements including a curved boom and flip up hood, according to Australian based New Holland brand leader Wayne Munce.
“The curved boom lowers the machine’s transport height by 15cm and allows for greater digging force and dig depth. The boom is also narrow, giving greater visibility for operators,” he said. “All daily maintenance check points are accessible from ground level, but the one-touch flip-up hood, makes it even easier to access the engine for servicing and maintenance. These innovations reaffirm New Holland’s commitment to helping customers increase productivity.”
Another productivity-enhancing feature is the backhoe’s FPT engine. Tier-3 certified it has increased fuel economy and lower emissions. At the front end, high loader bucket breakout force contributes to greater productivity, while the use of high capacity hydraulics, boosts both digging and loading cycle times.
