Loaders & Backhoes in Conroe, TX

A loader lifts and pushes. A backhoe digs. That's the short version. A front loader on your tractor moves dirt, gravel, brush piles and hay bales around your place. A backhoe digs post holes, trenches for water lines, and pulls stumps out of the ground. You may end up wanting both, since clearing land and building fence both come up. Come by the Conroe store to see how each one mounts to a tractor, or browse our implements on j5tractors.com to compare what's there.

Yes, our Conroe store sells used equipment alongside new. What's there changes from week to week. That's normal for a working lot. If you're after a used loader or backhoe, call the store or stop by to see what's there now. A used attachment still has to match your tractor's mount, hitch and hydraulics. Look over the pins, hoses and cylinders before you buy. Ask about fit when you call, since not every loader or backhoe fits every tractor.

Grease it on a schedule. That's the single biggest thing you can do for a loader or backhoe attachment. Pins, bushings and cylinder ends wear fast without grease, especially if you're digging in Montgomery County clay. Check hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks before every big job, not after. Look at pins and bushings for play at the joints, since a loose pin turns into a bigger repair. The shop works on loaders, backhoes and the tractors they mount to. Call the Conroe store to ask about what your attachment needs, or to set up a time to bring it in.

Yes. Once you've bought a loader or backhoe attachment from us, the parts counter and the service department are right here for whatever comes next. Pins, bushings, seals and hydraulic fittings wear out on any attachment that digs and lifts for a living. The counter handles those wear parts, and the shop takes on the repair work when something needs more than a part swap. That's true whether you bought new or used. Call the Conroe store when you need a part or want a repair looked at.

Match it to your tractor's size and hitch, not just the job you want done. Size matters most. Either attachment has to line up with your tractor's lift arms, hydraulics and weight class, or it won't hang right and won't lift what you need. Bigger digging work, like trenches or pulling stumps, calls for a heavier backhoe than clearing brush piles with a loader. A mismatched attachment strains your hydraulics and wears out faster than one sized right for the job. Bring your tractor's make and model when you call or stop by. Then ask what fits.
