This Caterpillar 416 is a backhoe loader — sometimes called a loader backhoe or simply a backhoe — a versatile piece of construction equipment used for digging, trenching, loading, and general earthmoving across construction, utility, landscaping, and agricultural applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised heavy equipment manufacturers, building machinery for construction, mining, and infrastructure industries worldwide.
This 1987 machine is offered in used condition from Illinois, USA, and carries 7,300 hours of recorded use. It is equipped with a cab featuring both heat and air conditioning, providing a comfortable working environment across seasons. The drivetrain includes mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD), giving the machine added traction on difficult ground. The engine is fitted with a turbocharger, and has recently received a new injection pump, a new starter, and a new fuel pump. Fresh oil and filters have also been installed.
The front loader end is fitted with a 72-inch bucket that includes two top-mounted hooks, useful for light lifting tasks. The cutting edge is reported to be in good condition, and new stabilizer pads have been fitted. At the rear, the backhoe is configured with an extendahoe — an extending dipper that increases maximum dig depth — and is equipped with a 24-inch bucket carrying five digging teeth. The backhoe operates on a two-lever control setup, and rubber-base stabilizers are fitted at the rear.
The seller notes that the rear end recently received approximately $6,000 worth of work, and a new cab floor was installed at a cost of around $1,500. It should be noted that three cab windows are cracked, and the side engine shield is missing. Despite these cosmetic and minor items, the machine is described as being in good operating condition. It is listed at $23,900.
