Set 8862 was released in 1989 as one of the most complex sets to date, and remains one of my favorite Technic sets of all time.  The list of features is simply remarkable, with 4 input cranks and 3 pneumatic switches.  It uses the new pneumatic system with 3 actuators to power the backhoe boom, jib, and scoop.  The backhoe also slews via a gear system.  The vehicle has rack and pinion steering and deployable rear outriggers.  Finally, the loader can be lifted and dumped via worm driven gear systems.

This set is fairly difficult to find if you should wish to buy one, and sells for a premium.  The alternate model combine is almost as good as the primary model.  Depending on which year you obtain, there are two different pneumatic versions.  The newer set has black caps on the pneumatics, while the older set (pictured) has yellow caps.  This is the only set to have the large Technic wheels in yellow.

There has only ever been one other backhoe which is at least as complicated, if not more so.
