Ontario backhoe rates
Also called loader backhoe, 580, tractor backhoe. Rates by SubTrack.
Ontario rates span GTA high-rise and utilities, Ottawa civil, and Northern mining support. Union density in the GTA is not the same as a Thunder Bay T&M job. The book shows CAD fully loaded charge-out ranges you still have to confirm on the sheet. Backhoe / loader-backhoe charge-out is the utility iron on service work, small trench, and site clean-up. It is not a 20-ton excavator. The book is an hourly T&M range, fuel usually extra. In Ontario, a backhoe typically bills $110 /hr (range $90 to $125, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Quebec sits at $105 /hr, and Manitoba sits at $100 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
