Bull HD76 2WD vs Manitou MBL 745 HT+ BS-V: Which One to Buy?

Both these are backhoe loaders used for digging, loading and general site work. The Bull HD76 2WD carries a bigger shovel and a higher payload, which suits jobs with more loading work. The Manitou MBL 745 HT+ BS-V comes with GPS tracking as standard and a longer warranty, which gives extra cover for the first years of ownership.

For an owner-operator, a longer warranty means fewer surprise repair bills early on, and GPS tracking helps if the machine works away from home base or needs to be tracked for a fleet owner. For a contractor who loads trucks often, the Bull HD76's larger shovel and higher payload can move more material per pass, which saves time on big loading jobs. Both Bull and Manitou dealers offer loan support, so check which brand has stronger local service before you decide. Browse the Bull backhoe loader range, the Manitou backhoe loader range, all backhoe loaders, or read the backhoe loader buying guide.
