A backhoe can be an invaluable piece of equipment on a farm. But like other heavy equipment, it can be dangerous. Backhoes can overturn on steep slopes, uneven ground, during sharp turns, as a result of striking an object such a stump, or due to instability from an elevated bucket. Other sources of injuries are being pinned between the bucket and another object, unsecured material falling from the bucket, improper transporting of the equipment, entanglement in PTO shafts, defective equipment, poorly maintained equipment, bypassed safety features, electrocution from elevated buckets contacting power lines, etc.
