Aftermarket parts for backhoe loaders are also referred to as non-original equipment manufacturer parts, generic parts, or competitive replacement parts.
Some consumers worry about the quality or safety of aftermarket parts, but these fears are unfounded, depending on where you get the parts.
Using aftermarket parts can be more cost-effective than using original equipment parts.
What are aftermarket parts?
Aftermarket parts are replacement parts that are not manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer.
Aftermarket parts are used to replace damaged parts in excavators, backhoes, and all types of machinery, but their use can alter the coverage of an insured item.
They are similar to generic drugs in that they are cheaper than brand-name drugs, but they are likely to have similar efficacy.
Aftermarket accessories for tractor
If you currently own a tractor and are considering adding a backhoe, it’s important to understand a few basics before buying a backhoe.
There are two ways to connect a backhoe to a tractor; some manufacturers use the tractor’s three-point hitch attachment, while other models use a more integrated frame mount configuration.
The three-point hitch attachment is the preferred method for lighter duty backhoes, while the frame-mounted backhoe provides a more rigid coupling to the tractor that helps eliminate frame stress on the tractor chassis on models bigger.
Other considerations when considering adding a backhoe include knowing if the unit requires hydraulic power for the backhoe or if it is powered by the tractor connected to a hydraulic system built into the backhoe.
- Does your tractor have the ability to run another hydraulic line to the backhoe?
- How about horsepower?
It goes without saying that you need enough power to operate the corresponding backhoe.
It is always a good idea to call a dealer for your tractor to make and model to find out exactly what type of backhoe will suit your particular tractor.

Different types of attachments might include front forks and grapples, various digging buckets, tampers and breakers, and other hydraulically driven attachments such as concrete saws and cold planers.
Backhoes can be equipped with a multitude of parts and accessories to enhance machine versatility and revenue potential.
These attachments will allow you to perform a wide range of tasks, which will complete your work schedule and maximize the overall use of the backhoe.
Many backhoe manufacturers have begun implementing technology that increases fuel economy.
Hydraulic refinements have also made the backhoe loader easier to control, decreasing operator fatigue and increasing the amount of time an operator can spend using the backhoe productively.
