New CAT 440 backhoe. Are they still useful?

Here's is a Quick Look at a brand new cat 440 backhoe. I’ve always thought of backhoe just one of those machines that can do a little bit of everything but none of it really good. But with the introduction of this new cat 440 and the changes that Cat has made, I think they have made huge drives and making them more useful and still relevant. Enjoy

I grew up on case in 70s and 80s. My dad had several and used them on every job. Rubber tired backhoes are nice because if the job was in 10 miles, we would just road them. Now with skid steers and minis, you can just pull em with a pick up instead of a dump truck. There pretty nice. I still have a case 590 plus my mini and skid. If i need to pack material and have some digging, ill take tge backhoe

The case 590 was the best backhoe ever made hands down.
