Re: Don't mix power tools and alcohol
I thought a backhoe was specifically the tool on the back of the digger, not the vehicle itself. 'cos it's got a scoop on the front as well as a hoe on the back, and it's attached to the back. Wiki appears to agree with me: "a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. It is typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader"
Edit: ah, and it's *back*hoe as the digging action is backwards towards the vehicle instead of forwards pushing away from the vehicle. As in the term as used in gardening, backhoeing, when you dig towards (backwards) yourself.
