Aaron Montford’s modern backhoe redesign features a more stable platform with an adjustable profile as well as higher arm reach and better maneuverability with four wheel steering capability. The most significant update is a side mounted retractable telescopic shovel arm that allows for increased range of motion and more stable digging without moving the entire machine. Newer technologies include a ground penetrating sonar system built directly into the shovel to prevent underground pipe and cable damage.
