Backhoe 448 backhoe ???

Power beyond $290
RSA brackets $324
Adapter frame $710
Subrame kit $385
Total $1709

That is more like it. I love JD tractors, but that green paint IS expensive.

As for a bigger backhoe, if you had some big jobs to do, a dedicated
industrial machine like a CASE 580 or Ford 410 can often be found
in tired but servicable condition for as little as $15K (2WD).

I am in a similar situation. I have a 4310 and looking at a 448 currently mated to a 4720. Looks like my shopping list to get it mounted would be about the same????
