LEGO set 8069 Backhoe Loader, released in 2011 as part of the Technic line, has 609 pieces. Its inventory breaks down into 113 different lots, across 12 colors.
Backhoe Loader belongs to the Technic tradition of construction and utility vehicles. The model represents a backhoe loader, combining a front loading bucket with a rear digging arm. Its subject is functional machinery rather than a licensed setting or a character driven scene.

This set suits Technic builders who want a construction vehicle for handling, display or theme based collecting.
