FAQs About Earthmoving Equipment for Sale

What is a backhoe?

• A backhoe is a versatile type of earthmoving equipment with a digging bucket attached to a two-part articulating arm, all of which is mounted on a tractor or front loader. This handy piece of equipment can dig up materials with one side while the other is perfect for moving those materials around. You can also outfit these already adaptable machines with various attachments such as compactors, rippers, augers and more. Backhoes are excellent for many different applications, making them popular construction and earthmoving equipment.

What is a bulldozer?

• A bulldozer is a tracked or wheeled tractor with a wide front-mounted blade designed for pushing and spreading materials such as dirt, sand, rubble and more for construction purposes. These powerful machines have various uses, such as rough grading, distributing materials, removing stumps and boulders, and leveling surfaces. A bulldozer's low center of gravity provides good maneuverability on rough terrain and uneven surfaces, especially the models outfitted with tracks.

Do skid steers have titles?

• No, skid steers generally fall into the category of “non-titled” equipment, meaning that they do not have titles. For proof of ownership, an original invoice or bill of sale from when the current owner purchased the equipment is a valid option.
