What is the difference between a Track hoe and an excavator? Are they local terms for the same thing?

A shovel is something I don't want to get a handle on ~ or should i say I don't want to get on the handle.BTDT said:An excavator can be a regular rubber tired backhoe, a trackhoe, which is also an excavator, is as the name implies, has tracks like a dozer. A shovel is also an excavator, but I don't want to go there.
Mike Mulligan, that brings back some childhood memories.!!N80 said:My dad still calls them all steam shovels! He's about 70 so I don't think he ever saw an actual steam shovel other than Mike Mulligan's.
