The huge, lumbering back hoes are not always the best choice, especially for the smaller contractor and are not an option at all for the home owner who needs to rent a machine for the weekend. For them, there are mini backhoes or the small back hoes. If you are going down to the local heavy equipment rental store, you are likely to see a few of the different compact back hoes there, typically the most popular brands like John Deere and the Kubota back hoe. There are others, including the Ford back hoe, the Case back hoe and the JCB back hoe as well, although there might not be a huge selection of brand names in most rental places. For those home contractors or weekend warriors who do not know: Backhoes has that name because it shovels dirt backwards rather than pushing it forward like other types of machinery.
