A backhoe having a swivel deck supporting a driver's section and a hydraulically operable boom assembly. This backhoe includes a detecting device for detecting a position, direction of movement and velocity of movement of a bucket relative to the driver's section, and a control device for controlling the boom assembly based on detection values provided by the detecting device. The control device has a function to prohibit operation of the bucket when the bucket moves inwardly of a danger plane A1 or A2 disposed at a predetermined distance outwardly of the driver's section. The control device establishes a caution plane C1 or C2 disposed at a predetermined distance outwardly of the danger plane A1 or A2, and has a time estimating function which, when a bucket pin 6a lies in a danger zone B1 or B2 defined by the danger plane and caution plane, computes and estimates time taken for the bucket 6 to reach the danger plane A1 or A2. To realize an ideal decelerated motion, a set time is determined in advance by using a horizontal distance to the danger plane A1 or A2 as a variable. The control device has a decelerating function to decelerate operation of hydraulic cylinders so that the set time and the time estimated agree.
