backhoes
Trench-digging equipment
Backhoes are excavating machines with a digging bucket on a hinged arm, used primarily for trenching and earthmoving.
The bucket faces the operator and digs by pulling toward the machine—hence "back." A backhoe is often mounted on the rear of a tractor with a loader bucket in front: The city brought in backhoes to repair the water main.
