I rember seeing a guy walk one of those backhoes down a creek bed to rerscue a stuck 4wd. The backhoe was so heavy it couldn't drive itsself to the stranded 4wd without sinking 4ft in the soft waterlogged sand. I have also seen em take down trees by digging out the root system on one side, then pushung from the other these same trees couldn't be pushed over by a bulldozer. They are amazing machines.
