Loaders & Backhoes for Silsbee
Mahindra builds both. We carry IronCraft and Modern Ag implements at Buna as well. Silsbee's economy grew on oil, the railroad, timber and farming. On a place in eastern Hardin County, there's always dirt to move. A loader carries fill, brush, gravel and feed. A backhoe digs post holes, footings and water line trenches through the sandy loam and into the red clay below. Browse our implements on j5tractors.com, then bring 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
Who services a loader once it's on my tractor?
Our Buna store's service department works on loaders and backhoes, and on the tractors they mount to. The parts counter carries common wear parts like pins, bushings, hoses and bucket teeth. It can order what it doesn't have. If a cylinder starts leaking or the bucket feels sloppy, note where and when it happens. Then call the store and describe what you're seeing. That way you've got a parts counter and a shop behind the attachment, not just a sale.
Can I find a pre-owned loader at the Buna store?
We sell new and used equipment at our Buna store, and the used units change as they sell. A used loader may or may not be there when you look, so ask before you drive up U.S. 96. If you find one, it has to suit your tractor's frame and hydraulics, so bring its make and model. Look at the pins, bushings and cylinders for wear. Check the bucket edge, too. A used loader that matches your tractor is the one worth your time.
How often should loader pins be greased?
As often as the operator's manual says, and more when the work is dirty. Each pivot pin has a grease fitting, and fresh grease pushes grit out as it goes in. Sandy loam gets into those joints, so a dirty job may call for more greasing than the manual's minimum. Wipe each fitting first. Pump until you see fresh grease at the joint. A pin that won't take grease needs attention before it seizes. Check the hoses while you're at it, looking for rubbing or cracks.
What does a backhoe ask of the tractor it goes on?
Enough weight and hydraulic flow to dig without lifting the tractor off the ground. A backhoe mounts to the rear, and digging forces push and pull on the whole machine. Backhoes are built for particular tractor sizes and mounts, so the two have to suit each other. A loader up front helps balance the backhoe, and it moves the dirt you dig. Loaders and backhoes fit most brands of tractor with the right mounting. Bring your tractor's make and model to our Buna store, and ask which backhoe suits it.
Is a loader the right tool for moving round bales?
With a bale spear on it, yes. Mahindra builds bale spears as a loader attachment, so you can lift and carry a round bale without a bucket. Carry the bale low and drive slowly. Mahindra's guidance is to move with the loader in the lowest possible safe position. A bale held high makes the tractor top-heavy, and uneven ground can tip it. Keep well back from ditch banks and drop-offs. Check your loader's rated lift capacity against the bale's weight before you lift it.
