The Ford 4400 Backhoe Loader is a rugged industrial tractor-loader-backhoe (TLB) built on a heavier-duty platform than Ford’s agricultural models. Introduced in the late 1960s and continuing into the early 1970s, the 4400 was widely used for construction, municipal, and utility jobs thanks to its industrial-grade frame, powerful 3-cylinder engine, and strong loader/backhoe attachments.
Known for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of repair, the Ford 4400 remains a popular choice for restoration and regular use. Whether you're replacing worn hydraulic cylinders, brake parts, or loader bushings, BrokenTractor.com supplies a complete line of parts for the 4400 series.
