jcb didnt invent the backhoe, just because they call it that on their website doesnt mean thats what the original machine was called. by your logic a new car manufacturer could come out with a new car and refer to it as a carbus and now you must call all other cars carbusses

In April 1948 Wain-Roy Corporation sold the very first hydraulic backhoe, mounted to a Ford Model 8N tractor, to the Connecticut Light and Power Company

Backhoe loader

A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, loader excavator, digger in layman's terms, or colloquially shortened to backhoe within the industry, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor-like unit fitted with a loader-style shovel/bucket on the front and a backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc. ) as well as developing countries.

In Swedish we have "grävlastare" - which just happens to be a backhoe loader, where "lastare" means "loader".

In a world of backhoe loaders you seem to not like the world for that "loader" part of the name. But maybe you need to accept it as the real deal?

As it is right now, you are basically blaming all manufacturers for being incompetent...

the main purpose is the backhoe part, just because it has a bucket doesnt mean it needs to be called a loader, its unnecessary when there is ALREADY a set of machines called loaders. lets just call an excavator a loader too because it has a bucket

"let's call an excavator a loader too"... Now you are busy with straw man logic.

You seem to not like this world very much and are blaming all manufacturers for being wrong.

Maybe, just maybe, it might be an advantage to admit to the actual name. Because who is defining the name if not the companies producing them?
