771 Terex Construction says that its all-new TLB870 backhoe loader has been designed with the user in mind. It has an all-new loader arm, bespoke roof canopy and LED lights, as well as a 7% greater dig reach and 8% greater dig depth than its nearest competition. Said to benefit from an intelligent hydraulic system with in-loader valve and tandem gear pump, the machine has lower power consumption and improved fuel economy.
