I'd never heard of the name 'back-hoe'

My youngest brother used to have his own little landscaping business in central NC, and I saw him once on his 'back-hoe' - it worked exactly like a regular hoe, except that instead of digging in FRONT of him, he sat on this gigantic thing with a hoe-like contraption on the BACK and it dug BEHIND him... it was sorta actually! And it made hoeing those longish rows a bit easier and quicker!
