Until the news of the 4 10 series I was all ready to buy a 4300 HST with 430 FEL, 48 Backhoe, and a few other smaller Items... seeing all of the problems with the first 4000 series a few years ago I'm not sure I want to be a tester for JD so I'm thinking of going with the 4300. Any comments on...
Thanks for all of the responses on the 47 vs. the 48... sounds like I'd be a fool to get anything but a 48 (if I can afford it! No final price yet!). Since I will be trailering it a fair amount, one problem or consideration I have is weight of either unit... does any one have those numbers...
I'm buying a JD 4300 with 430 loader and a back hoe... my question is which hoe the 47 or 48? the 48 offers 1' more digging depth (8'6" vs. 7'6") at a premium of about $1,000! Is it worth it? is it more HD than the 47 or only 1' longer?
