Howdy! I got a nice bid all setup the way I want and it ended up about 12% off the total retail thats on john deeres build a tractor site. I went to the sight, build a couple versions of tractors I wanted setup, and then asked for quotes from a few dealers. They were all about 10-15% below what deeres configured price showed. I didn't haggle at all, because I was debating between the 4720 and the TLB 110. If your looking at a backhoe option for the 4720, check out the 110 TLB, I am SOOOO Sold on the 110 over the 4720. I demo'd both, and THAT is what made up my mind. The 110 has a creep feature, much stronger hydraulics, and is just beefier! the ONLY bad things are PTO is 33HP and cost is a lil more. But is comes with the canopy, and a much much stronger 3 pt hitch setup, the FEL lifts 2,700 lbs at pivot, compared to 2,400, but lists a lil higher. allthough the 110 LOADER arms do not come off like on an ag series, the bucket does, and it uses standard skid steer quick connects, so ANY skid stter front end attachment will fit it! The backhoe uses the same 5 minute removal rockshaft assist, as the 448 backhoe you may be looking at. It has about twice the strength. I have the 110 at my house right now, and just dug out a stump with it between yesterday and today after work. this thing ROCKS!!! It snapped 5" roots like they were nothin! about 8" was max snapping ability in single motion. the bigger roots I stuck a tooth in the middle and splintered it a few times. Then snapped them. This stump is over 4 ft wide where the trunk was, and about 9' wide total, about 5' tall including rootball. I am confident it would have taken much much more time with the ag tractor. Setup the same, the 110 is a few thousand more then the ag series. But so much more beefy!! Take care, Brian! Sparkeee24
