You'll have the opportunity to dig a hole with the hoe, pile the dirt, then scoop it up with the bucket and move it. You can even try your agility with picking up tires and stacking them. ‍
  • Expert Instructor: Throughout your experience, you'll be guided by an expert instructor who will guide you step-by-step on how to operate the Backhoe safely and effectively. The instructor will communicate with you via wireless headset and microphone to ensure that you're always in control and feeling confident. ‍
