Question: Can anyone tell me the steps to a proper circle check for heavy equipment (backhoe and grader)?

You must mean a walk-a-round safety check, just inspect the tires and kick them. clean any mirrors and don't forget to check the oil, all of them! :) did I mention the radiator, take your time and look at everything

I'm sure there are afew things different, but I would go to your local DMV and get a booklet on earning your CDL's and study the list for saftey checks on a commercial vehicle. Safty is safety, no matter what you are operating. It's nice to know you will be on one, it sounds like you care. Good luck and I hope it's a good start.

Breaks, air lines for breaks, tires, this should be done for every engine before starting oil in: trans. engine, hyd tank, water level in rad
