Backhoe attachments have exploded onto the scene, making an already versatile and flexible piece of equipment even more flexible. In fact, a backhoe is now found on almost every major construction site.
For small or medium-sized landscaping projects, it is sometimes the only piece of equipment that is needed, because with the right attachments you can perform the work of many different types of heavy equipment. In this article, I will give you an overview of backhoe attachments.

First, let's start with the backhoe bucket. There are number of different backhoe buckets that you can attach and mount onto your backhoe. These range in size from small -- 12 inches -- all the way to big, such as 60 inches for trench digging buckets. In fact, recent innovation has made double-sided buckets now possible, so you can switch quickly between different functions.
Another hydraulic power backhoe attachment is the tiltrotator. I want you to tilt your wrist forward and backward, and notice the motion of your hand. Now rotate your wrist from side to side, and again noticed the range of motion. A tiltrotator is much like the wrist on your hand. Only, it has full 360° rotation capabilities, and 40° forward and backward tilting motion. You can imagine how much more precise and productive your bucket control can be with this tool.
A hoe ram is one of the best backhoe attachments currently on the market. In this case, you can imagine a jackhammer. Now make this a super large and powerful jack hammer that you can attach to your backhoe. And that's exactly what it is. It is a powerful percussive hammer used to demolish concrete structures, or to penetrate through rocks. It is typically operated by a foot valve.
Another backhoe attachment is the grapple. This is like a claw machine you might see at a grocery store, with all the stuffed animals in it. Only in this case, you can picsk up, hold and move heavy objects instead of stuffed animals.
And to round up those backhoe attachments, there is the auger. The most common auger is the grain auger, which is used to move grain from trucks into storage bins. By using rotating helical flighting, you can easily move a variety of different materials along the rotating axis.
In conclusion, I have given you an overview of backhoe attachments.

The DWS780 miter saw features extremely solid construction and the new XPS cross-cut alignment system that features an improved ultra-bright LED light, which casts a laser-like shadow on the work surface and shows the user precisely where the blade will come in contact with the material. This unique alignment system requires no recalibration over time or after changing blades, which makes it more accurate and durable than traditional laser guides.
Ultimate Durability
The DWS780 miter saw’s rugged guards; precision-machined castings, fences, and bevel system; and tough stainless steel miter detent plate are designed to withstand the constant rigors of the job site.
High-Capacity Cutting
The saw features a powerful 15-amp motor that delivers 3,800 RPM. For convenience, the power cord is routed through the rail in the back, eliminating interference with the slide. Additionally, the saw offers an industry-leading combination of cut capacities, which includes 6-3/4-inch vertical capacity, 7-1/2-inch nested crown capacity, 13-7/8-inch horizontal capacity, and exclusive back fence design that cuts up to a 2x16 at a 90-degree angle and 2x12 at a 45-degree angle. To simplify and maximize vertical cutting capacity, the unit includes a rail lock latch for holding the head away from the fence.
Hassle-Free Operation
The dual bevel system is easy to see and use in job site conditions thanks to its high-visibility scale and easy angle adjustment. Bevel from zero to 49 degrees with positive stops at 0 degrees, 22.5 degrees, 33.9 degrees, 45 degrees, and 49 degrees in both right and left directions. The saw also miters 60 degrees to the right and 50 degrees to the left and features an adjustable miter detent plate with 10 positive stops. A cam lock miter button allows the user to lock angles between detents. A miter detent override is also used to allow precise angle adjustment without falling into detents.
