with its bucket replaced by backhoe attachment]] A backhoe, also called a '''rear actor''' or '''back actor''', is a piece of excavating equipment consisting of a digging bucket on the end of an articulated arm (also called a stick or dipper). Modern backhoes are powered by Hydraulics . They are typically mounted on the back of a Tractor or Front Loader . (Similar attachments for Skid Loader s are still called backhoes even though they are mounted on the front of the vehicle.) A backhoe attached to a swiveling cab on top of Tracks is called an Excavator . The British company JCB developed the early backhoes. Their first tractor equipped with both a backhoe and a front mounted loading bucket was completed in 1953 and set the standard pattern for future designs. Because of this backhoe-equipped diggers are commonly called 'JCBs' in the UK. The founder of the JCB company holds the honour of being the only non-American in the US construction industry's Hall of Fame. BACKHOE MANUFACTURERS EXTERNAL LINKS
