Loaders & Backhoes in Madisonville, TX

Our Normangee store handles new and used sales, and the lot turns over. What's there changes as units come in and sell. So the best way to see current options is to call the store or stop by and look. A pre-owned loader or backhoe still has to fit the tractor you run, so bring the make and model when you ask. A used one can go on most brands of tractor. Look over the pins, welds and hoses on any used unit before you buy. Cracked welds and sloppy pins tell you how hard it's worked.

Keep the pins, bushings and grease fittings on a loader or backhoe greased on a regular schedule. Dirt and clay work into those joints fast around Madisonville. Dry pins wear first. Check hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks before you hook the implement up, and look at the bucket or backhoe teeth for wear before a big digging job. Store the implement off wet ground when you can, since standing water rusts cutting edges and pins. Our Normangee parts counter handles grease, pins, teeth and hoses. Not sure about some wear you see? Ask the shop.

Bring it to our Normangee store. The service department handles repair work on loaders and backhoes. The parts counter handles orders for hydraulic cylinders, pins, bushings and cutting edges. Those are the usual wear items on an implement like this. Call the shop and describe the job before you bring it in. A photo of the problem helps. If it's a leak, note where the oil shows up. If it's a sloppy pin, note which joint. You'll have a better conversation with that detail in hand.

Fit comes down to your tractor's three-point hitch, PTO and hydraulic flow, not the brand name on the hood. A loader or backhoe sized for a compact tractor won't hang right on a bigger one, and a mismatch the other way causes its own problems. Bring your tractor's make, model and horsepower when you call or stop by our Normangee store. If you're adding a loader or backhoe to a tractor you already own, your tractor's specs are the place to start.

A front loader scoops, lifts and carries. Think moving dirt, gravel or hay bales around the place. A backhoe digs. Think trenching for a water line or pulling a stump out of the ground. Some jobs call for one, some call for both. A loader mounts up front, and a backhoe mounts at the rear, so a tractor can carry both at once on different ends. If you're building a stock tank, the backhoe digs and the loader carries the dirt off. If you're setting a post, the backhoe does it alone.
