Normally a large tractor with an excavator boom and bucket on rear. Works same as larger units (Tracked) known as excavators

It digs a hole in soil like your hand would in sand at the beach.

It’s used to dig trenches, mostly. It’s a small, square-sided scoop on a boom on the back of heavy equipment. So, it’s perfect for digging straight, square trenches.

Backhoes are designed primarily for digging..(trenches for water, sewer,gas, electrical lines etc.) Their power to dig or excavate, is provided by an integral hydraulic system..powered by a diesel engine..They are also equipped with a front-end loader which may be used for scooping & loading dirt, gravel, sand snow or other materials..leveling & landscaping previously excavated areas. Most plumbers rely on contractors with backhoes to install or repair sewer and/or water systems. There are many companies that build & sell backhoes..including John Deere, & Caterpillar. Like other industrial machinery..they most often come in the color of Yellow.
Backhoes are a wonderful piece of equipment..not be confused with their bigger brothers, the “track” models, which are designated as “Excavators”.
