Abstract: The backhoe loader of the present invention allows an operator to move the backhoe loader without having to take the time to turn the seat around or use the backhoe to push the backhoe loader to the desired location. In addition to the standard front controls that are found on every backhoe loader, rear controls similar to the front controls are added. The front and rear controls are connected to a master switch which determines whether the front or rear controls are used to operate the backhoe loader's drivetrain and brake systems.
