  ABSTRACT: In this study, static structural analysis of backhoe-loader arms has been performed with the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this study is to simulate and strengthen the back and front arms of the backhoe-loader concerning with stress under maximum loading condition and different boundary conditions. According to analysis result, back and front arms of the backhoe-loader are strengthened with the use of reinforcements. As a result of the study, strength of the arms has been increased by nearly 20%.
