Terex Bagger – other models: the collective page of backhoe loaders and compact loaders outside the named ranges, from the 860 Elite backhoe to the Vectra TX760 backhoe, 49 to 75 kW, Perkins
This page gathers the Terex construction machines the register could not assign to a named range – backhoe loaders (TLB, Tractor Loader Backhoe) and compact loaders. Several models carry the suffix Vectra, pointing to Terex Vectra, the Indian joint venture of Terex with the Indian construction-equipment maker Vectra, which builds backhoe loaders and compact loaders for the Indian and South Asian market. Elite and SX mark different equipment levels within the backhoe-loader ranges, TXL denotes the loader-tractor version. The engines come from Perkins, the Indian maker Kirloskar and from Cummins.

The register lists here 10 versions with 49 to 75 kW, or 66 to 100 hp, from four-cylinders, all with diesel engines at a rated speed of around 2,200 rpm.
Backhoe loaders of this power class are all-purpose machines for groundworks, drainage work and municipal use; the Terex-Vectra cooperation shows how international construction-equipment groups sought access to growth markets such as India through local joint ventures.
On used machines, operating hours and the condition of the diesel engine, the state of loader bucket, backhoe arm and hydraulic cylinders, the tightness of the hydraulics, and wear on axles and tyres count; spares are carried by the Terex dealer network, supplemented in India by the former Vectra network.
