This Caterpillar 420 Backhoe is a used backhoe loader — sometimes referred to simply as a loader backhoe or JCB-style digger-loader — a highly versatile piece of construction equipment that combines a front loader bucket with a rear-mounted backhoe arm, making it well suited to 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, known for building durable, high-performance machinery for the construction, mining, and infrastructure industries. This example is a 2024 model year machine in used condition, located in North Dakota, USA, and is priced at $135,000.
The machine is equipped with a general-purpose front bucket rated at 1.31 cubic yards in an IT (Integrated Toolcarrier) configuration, paired with a two-piece wide cutting edge for improved ground engagement and longer wear life. A quick-disconnect threaded coupling with caps is fitted to the hydraulic circuit, facilitating attachment changes while keeping the system protected when not in use. No front coupler is specified.
Power comes from a C3.6 DITA (Direct Injection Turbocharged Aftercooled) engine producing 74.5 kW, certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, delivering a clean and fuel-efficient power output that meets current North American regulatory requirements. The machine runs on 340/80-18 front tyres and 500/70-24 rear tyres in an MX tread specification, a combination suited to mixed on- and off-road work typical of backhoe loader applications.
The rear digging end features an 18-inch heavy-duty bucket, appropriate for general trenching and excavation tasks. The operator environment is appointed to Trim Package 3 and includes ANSI-specification instructions, a 3-inch suspension seat belt for operator safety, and auxiliary lighting for work in low-light conditions. A cooling fan is included as noted. The machine ships with an Online Owner's Manual and a Serialized Technical Media Kit, providing the next owner with full documentation support. The equipment certification code is listed as NCR.
