An Ironworker is the amalgamation of 5 machines clubbed into a single engineering wonder, forming the backbone of many fabrication workshops. An Ironworker comprises of a punching machine, a plate shear, a section shear, a punch and shear machine and a coper-notcher.

Generating force using hydraulic systems or mechanical leverage, Ironworker machines can shear, punch holes and notch in steel plates.

They are typically mounted on the back of a tractor or front loader, this one is mounted on a [[LifeTrac]]. It consists of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. The section of the arm closest to the vehicle is known as the boom, and the section which carries the bucket is known as the dipper or dipperstick (the terms "boom" and "dipper" having been used previously on steam shovels). The boom is attached to the vehicle through a pivot known as the kingpost, which allows the arm to slew left and right, usually through a total of around 200 degrees. Modern backhoes are powered by hydraulics.
An Ironworker is a fundamental machine for working with many and is the backbone of many fabrication workshops. It generates tremendous force using hydraulic systems and mechanical leverage.


The backhoe is one of the most basic dirt working tools and is a common attachment to many small tractor and skid-steer vehicles.  It can be used for digging trenches for foundations, digging up material to make compressed earth blocks, digging waste pits, and many other common building/farming tasks.  Furthermore, by attaching a chain to the bucket, the backhoe can be used to lift and transport heavy loads such as engine blocks, battery packs, long pieces of pipe, etc.
Commercially manufactured backhoes vary greatly in their size and capabilities and therefore vary significantly in price.  A quick google search seems to indicate that relatively small, simple devices like the one we are considering range from 2 to 4 thousand dollars with more sophisticated attachments approaching 10 thousand dollars.
