Jeffrey Ridgway Sr.'s Backhoe

Jeffrey Ridgway Sr.'s Backhoe is a New Holland T1510 compact utility tractor fitted with a New Holland 110TL front end loader and a 757C backhoe attachment owned by Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. Throughout the series it is commonly referred to as just "the backhoe" because of the rear backhoe attachment.

Background

New Holland introduced the T1510 in 2008 as part of their compact utility tractor lineup. Under the hood it has a 1.5L Shibaura N843 3-cylinder liquid cooled diesel engine that puts out 30 horsepower. The tractor was offered with a 3 range hydrostatic transmission throughout its production run. The tractor was compatible with many New Holland and third party implements such as the infamous backhoe and loader attachments. The tractor could also be fitted with a mower deck however Jeffrey Sr. forego-ed having this installed on his, likely because it would be unnecessary with the Hustler X-One and Bobcat zero-turn mowers that he already owned.

Psycho Series

It has been used as a common weapon of destruction in the Psycho Series, having destroyed Eagle's Landing, the room in the Morton Building,  The Wingless Eagle and Larry Abraham's Ford F-150. It was also used to dig the hole to bury Jesse's video games and the hole used for the pitfall prank and eventually destroying Jeffrey Jr.'s motorcycle.

Jesse has also tried to operate it in HIJACKING THE BACKHOE! and I'M A DEAD MAN!.

Behind the scenes the tractor was used to recover the motorcycle from the hole and to remove the destroyed RV from it's spot in the woods.
