5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect New Holland Backhoe For Your Jobsite
When you need a machine that can dig, lift, load, and backfill with efficiency and power, it’s hard to beat the versatility of a loader backhoe. Whether you’re running a construction crew, managing municipal utility projects, or tackling site prep, choosing the right backhoe is key to productivity and profitability. Among the most reliable in the industry, New Holland Backhoes offer the power, precision, and durability you need—with options to suit just about any job.
At Tracey Road Equipment, we help contractors and municipalities across New York and Pennsylvania find the perfect machine for their unique project needs. Here are five key tips to consider when selecting your next New Holland Backhoe.
Dig Smarter. Load Faster. Go with New Holland.
The class-leading D Series cab is now wider, so you can easily turn the seat when transitioning from front loader work to the backhoe. New rear side windows allow better visibility and less obstruction.
A redesign of the right-side console improves ergonomics and control layout, regardless of what direction you are working in. Large retractable sun visors, cup holders, glove box and a deluxe pneumatic heated seat are included. And to top it off, the engine exhaust is located on the right side of the cab to provide a clear view of the loader arm.
Match the Machine Size to Your Jobsite Conditions
Backhoes come in a range of sizes, and picking the right one depends heavily on your work environment.
Tight urban sites or utility corridors? Look for a more compact model like the New Holland B75D, which delivers full backhoe performance with a smaller footprint.
Open construction sites, heavy digging, or large-scale grading? A larger unit like the B95D or B110D may be the better fit, offering greater lift capacity, deeper dig depths, and more hydraulic power.
Choosing the correct size not only improves efficiency but also ensures better maneuverability, especially when working in congested areas or around underground utilities.
Consider Hydraulic Performance and Attachments
New Holland Backhoes are known for their strong, smooth hydraulic systems, which directly impact how productive the machine will be. Consider:
Hydraulic flow and breakout force: For tasks like trenching, lifting, or material placement, make sure the hydraulic specs meet your demands.
Auxiliary hydraulics: Planning to use attachments such as hammers, augers, or thumbs? You’ll need a machine equipped with auxiliary lines and quick couplers for fast, tool-free changes.
Loader performance: New Holland’s integrated loader arms offer excellent reach and visibility for pallet handling, loading trucks, and site cleanup—so don’t overlook the loader specs either.
Attachments can significantly expand what your backhoe can do, making it a true multi-purpose tool.
Prioritize Operator Comfort and Control
Operator fatigue can slow down productivity and lead to errors or downtime. Fortunately, New Holland designs their cabs with long-hour comfort and intuitive controls in mind.
Key features to look for:
Ergonomic seat and joystick control layout
Side-shift capabilities on select models for easier trench alignment
Excellent 360° visibility from the cab
Simple instrument cluster with diagnostic readouts
Climate control and sound insulation for comfort in all conditions
When choosing your machine, consider who will be operating it most often, and whether enhanced cab features or upgraded seats are worth the investment in morale and output.
Evaluate Total Cost of Ownership
While upfront price matters, smart contractors know that long-term operating costs play a bigger role in profitability. With New Holland Backhoes, you benefit from:
