The new Terex backhoe loader is said to be highly versatile
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.

It also has servo controls and what the firm claims is a class-leading tear-out performance. Other benefits include low cost of ownership and high excavator performance. Its launch follows months of development, many of which have been undertaken in direct partnership with key customers, distributors and operators.
