Backhoe PLow

Why Take This Course

The Tractor Loader Backhoe is a versatile piece of equipment for clearing snow as it can be outfitted with a snow blade, snow bucket or even a blower.

For a well-trained operator, this makes removing snow a breeze but it has one major obstacle that is often overlooked.  The backhoe attachment, as a counterbalance, is almost perfect when moving wet, deep snow – but it is crucial that the operator always consider it when maneuvering in close quarters or backing up. As such, it is essential that all operators be fully trained in safe operations.

The different attachments can make snow removal a breeze, but without proper training, many difficulties may arise.
