Loaders & Backhoes in Brenham, TX

It depends on the job. Which do you do most? A front loader is built to lift and carry: moving round bales, scooping feed, pushing brush piles. A backhoe attachment is built to dig. Think trenches for a water line, footings, or pulling stumps and roots out of a fence line. You can run both, swapping one for the other by the job. Either one is sized to the tractor you already run, not the other way around. Browse our implements on j5tractors.com, or come by our Navasota store and talk through what your place needs.

Call the store, since whether a used one's there depends on the week. The lot changes as units move in and out, so what's there one week may be gone the next. Set on a backhoe for post holes, or a loader for feed and yard work? Come take a look. If you're after one specific used attachment, check before you drive. When you look one over, work the hydraulics through their full range. Check the pins for play, and look the hoses over for cracks and weeping oil.

Grease your pivot pins before each day of hard work, and follow the attachment's manual for everything else. Pins, bushings and hydraulic hoses take the most wear. That's especially true digging in heavy clay or running a loader hard every week. Check hoses and couplers for weeping oil before a big job. Small leaks add up. Washington County clay is hard on all of it. Our service department works on loaders, backhoes and the tractors they mount to. If something's beyond a grease gun, call and ask.

Our Navasota shop handles it, and the parts counter handles the parts. That holds whether you bought the attachment from us or already had it. Hoses, pins, bushings and cylinders wear over time. The shop works through repairs and replacement on them. A blown hose or a loose pin is worth getting looked at before it does more damage. Don't keep running it. Call or come by and describe what's going on. A photo of the leak or the worn joint helps when you call.

That depends on the tractor's frame, hookup and hydraulics, not its age alone. Size matters first. A loader mounts to the tractor's frame with brackets made for that model. A backhoe needs the right hookup and enough hydraulic flow to dig. Compact tractors generally pair with smaller attachments, while bigger tractors can run heavier ones. Attachments fit most brands of tractor, so you don't need to have bought yours here. Call the store with your tractor's make, model and size, and sort it out before you drive to Navasota.
