I'm looking at a Morton Building with 14' walls and 12' X 12' doors. I don't have a backhoe but maybe someday. Will a Deere 310E or a Case 580 L (for examples) fit in a 12' high door? I'm thinking not without lowering the boom.

I've got a John Deere 310C that measures 11' 9" to the top of boom in transport position.

I have 12'x12' doors on my shop since 1980. The only thing we owned that wouldn't fit was a Cat 988. We let air out of the tires to get in if we really wanted it in there. I've had Ford 550,555 and 655 and Cat 416B backhoes. They all would fit but we just lower it a touch when going in. It's second nature when entering a building.
As far as width wide would be nice but not necessary.
All that being said if you ever want to work on a tractor trailer you'll need 14' doors.
That's one sexy hoeMy garage is 32 ft deep with 12 ft ceiling and garage door is a role up measuring 10 x 10. The ceiling trust are notched so that the door track is a bit higher. With boom down and rear bucket almost scraping the ground my 310D extendabla hoe just fits in. The beakon light and exhaust pipe clears the top of the door by 1". That's the limit. Garage was here before the TLB and I only bring it in for repairs so that's ok.
