The engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems on this 74 hp, Tier 4 Final machine are designed for easy maintenance.
The TLB840R backhoe loader is equipped with a powerful 74-hp, Tier 4 final 4-cyclinder Deutz electronic fuel injection diesel engine, a 4-speed transmission and a robust hydraulic system to excel at digging, reaching, lifting and loading tasks.

“In the past when we’ve launched new products, they have been primarily designed with owner/operators and our distribution base in mind, but with the TLB840R we took a good hard look at the needs of our rental customers and configured this backhoe loader specifically for the market,” says Vice President and General Manager of Terex Construction Americas and Global Aftermarket, Gary Dennis. “With the growth forecast for the North American rental industry continuing to be encouraging well into 2017, we took the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the market’s specific needs, and what we can do as Terex to help them be more competitive. Because rental rates are driven by equipment acquisition costs and utilization, we focused on a product that would be competitively priced without sacrificing quality and features our backhoe products are known for, at a price point that drives return on investment for our customers.”
What the rental market really needed was a reliable unit, that’s cost-effective to maintain, with a competitive acquisition cost, easy to operate and delivers a superior return on invested capital to the rental houses. Within 12 months of identifying these needs, Terex is proud to introduce the TLB840R backhoe loader.
Terex has designed this unit to give operators unrestricted visibility to the bucket edge, which is ideal in grading applications. The curved boom design and up to 13-ft 5-in loading height the new TLB840R backhoe loader offers operators excellent clearance to reach up and over obstacles, as well as and the ability to load closer into trucks for greater productivity.
