Top 100: Strong Performance, Ease of Serviceability

Sept. 28, 2010

Large tires, high torque power trains and powerful hydraulics give the Terex TX760 backhoe-loader high performance levels. Hydraulic system uses constant displacement pumps with a closed center control valve on the backhoe for excellent controllability and multifunctioning capability with low effort on control levers. Good ground clearance allows for working on rough terrain, narrow backhoe boom gives operator visibility, large tires provide increased flotation. Serviceability is enhanced with a tilt-up hood, and daily service checks can be made from the ground. Lift capacity is 7,600 pounds to full height; breakout force is 10,485 pounds. Estimated price: $39,900.
