Branson loader/backhoe questions...

[Vineyard Dave]

Just a quick question.

Are the Branson 4720 and the 5530 able to use the same FEL and backhoe? Not that I can afford two tractor right now, but down the road I can see the advantage of having both tractors. If I'd be able to swap the loader/backhoe to either unit, I think that'd be a good thing...

Just wondering.

hello i am sad to tell you that this are two different series tractors so no it will not work.

After a bit more digging on my part that's what I was thinking anyway. Oh well.. like I said, I can't afford two tractors at the moment anyway. Thanks for the reply Builder.

The backhoe is Amerequip, and the loader is Ansung. You might check the specs at the manufacturer's websites for the dimensions. The 5530 uses the same engine as the 4720 (albeit with turbo). I sometimes get the impression while using it that the 20-series hoe on my 4720 is about as big a hoe as can go on that series, even if it is subframe mounted. It's a big hoe to swing with a ~5000 lb tractor.
