I’m in the process of trading my 2016 3039R with 165 loader and 385A backhoe for a 2024 model with 320R loader and 385A backhoe.
I ordered the new one in February and it just came in.
Apparently the new backhoe is a 2023 model with the big, steel shields on the back. I’ve asked the dealer to get me a 2024 model because it appears the newest model comes without those shields, just footrests like the older 48 and 448 backhoes had.
Can anyone confirm that the newest 385A does not have the big shields?
