Tractor Loader Backhoe

Course Objective: 

A TRACTOR LOADER BACKHOE is three pieces of construction equipment combined into one unit:
Tractor - much like the tractors farmers use in their fields.
Loader - attached on the front, performs many tasks, mostly used to pick up objects and carry large amounts of materials.
Backhoe - located in the rear/back and used to dig up hard, compact material or lift heavy loads.
