Loaders & Backhoes for Lumberton
A loader lifts and carries. A backhoe digs. Mahindra builds both, and we carry IronCraft and Modern Ag implements at Buna too. Hardin County's surface soil is sandy loam, with red clay under it. A backhoe gets you through the loam and into that clay for a post hole, a footing or a water line. A loader moves the spoil, the brush and the feed. Browse our implements on j5tractors.com, then come by with your tractor's make and model.
A front loader scoops, lifts, and carries dirt and debris on your place, while a backhoe digs and trenches for jobs a loader alone can't handle. A loader handles the everyday work: moving dirt, stacking hay, and clearing brush. A backhoe takes on the deeper jobs, like setting posts, digging a pond edge, or running a line to the barn. Both fit most brands of tractor. That's a lot in one hookup. Our parts counter carries pieces for these attachments, and our service department handles repairs when something breaks. You don't have to guess what fits your tractor. Browse our implements on j5tractors.com to find the right attachment for your place.

Questions people ask
How do I match a loader to the tractor I have?
Start from your tractor, because a loader mounts to its frame and runs off its hydraulics. Loaders and backhoes fit most brands of tractor, but each one needs the right mounting kit and enough hydraulic flow. Lift capacity matters too. Mahindra's loader guidance says an attached loader shifts the tractor's weight balance, and that imbalance raises the risk of a rollover. So don't oversize it. Bring your tractor's make and model to our Buna store, and ask which loader and mount suit it.
Are there used loaders and backhoes at Buna?
We sell new and used equipment at our Buna store, and the used units change as they sell. Whether a used loader or backhoe is there this week is a question for the store, so call before you drive up. A used attachment still has to suit your tractor's mount and hydraulics, so bring its make and model. Look at the pins and bushings for slop, and at the hoses for cracks or weeping. A used piece that fits your tractor beats a newer one that doesn't.
How do I keep a backhoe's pins and hoses in good shape?
Grease every pivot on the schedule in its manual, and look the hoses over before you dig. A backhoe has a lot of pins, and each one wears fast once it runs dry. Sandy loam works grit into a joint, so wipe each fitting before you pump grease into it. Check the hoses for rubbing, cracks and wet spots. Watch the bucket teeth too, since worn teeth make the machine work harder in clay. When grease isn't enough, our Buna store's shop handles loader and backhoe repair.
Who works on my loader after the sale?
Our Buna store has a parts counter and a service department, and both handle loaders and backhoes. The counter carries common wear parts like pins, bushings and hoses, and it can order what it doesn't have. The shop handles repairs on the attachment and on the tractor it's mounted to. When something feels loose or a cylinder starts to leak, note where it's happening. Then call the store and describe it. You'll know who to ask before you ever need to.
Is it safe to carry a loaded bucket across rough ground?
Only with the bucket low and the tractor slow. Mahindra's guidance says to move with the loader in the lowest possible safe position. A raised bucket makes the tractor top-heavy. Mahindra also warns that an uneven or unstable surface can tip a tractor while the loader is lifting. Hardin County is level in the west and undulating in the east, and ruts and stumps turn up anywhere. Keep well back from ditch banks and drop-offs. Your operator's manual gives the limits for your tractor, so follow it.
