An excavation backhoe consists of a tractor base and a jointed two part arm with a digging bucket attached. In many cases, backhoes have front loader attachments on the opposite side, so the seat swivels 360 degrees to let the operator face the front loader.
Workflow of Backhoe
On the backhoe arm, the segment holding the digger bucket is called the dipper or dipper stick, and the segment attached to the tractor is called the boom. For a backhoe, a variety of attachments are available, including drills, hammers, rippers, rakes, and breakers.
Forklifts, brooms, and plows can also replace the front loader. The straps of a lifted object can even be looped over the dipper stick on a backhoe, converting it into a crane.
Define Excavator
In much the same way that a backhoe is constructed, an excavator has a boom, dipper, bucket, and chassis, but excavators can have either tracks or wheels. Excavator uses a digging arm instead of a tractor and are purpose built for working in confined spaces and can handle heavier loads compared to backhoes.
Workflow of Excavator
In spite of the similarity of excavator parts to those of backhoes, excavators have much greater rotation capability. Excavators have cabs that rotate 360 degrees atop their undercarriages, unlike backhoes. A dozer blade is also attached opposite the digging arm of most wheeled and compact excavators.
In addition to standard digging, the excavator can also drill and demolish in addition to digging. Forestry projects often involve the use of excavators with brush cutting attachments.
