New XR4046HC!! Finally got one!!!

[Scotron]

I finally picked up my new XR4046HC on Friday and wow, what a machine!! I absolutely love it!!! I have a house on 40 acres out in the middle of nowhere and honestly I don't know how I survived out here for 7 years without this machine. It's a highly engineered workhorse. I spent a couple of hours on my driveway and slicked it up nice with the box blade and now even the wife is sold on it. I bought it with the backhoe, pallet forks and box blade. I'm hoping it gives me many years of good service. None of you were exaggerating about these LS tractors; they are a great value for your money!

It's the frame mount LB2102 and the specs show a dig depth of 89 inches.

If you break any Tie Rod Brackets, have your dealer service tech call mine at Haney Equipment (256) 323-5850... I went through (4) of them before they realized that the factory didn't install stop bolts on LH side.

Is the backhoe built by LS?
Did you get a hydraulic thumb on it?
Would like to see a picture of the BH ...please.
Man, That is a nice machine!!

Yes, the backhoe is built by LS.
I did not get the hydraulic thumb.
Here's a couple of pictures of the backhoe.

That's the tractor I was gonna buy but I found a good deal on the used Kubota I bought. Great looking photos! LS should give you a discount for the use of those photos!

Nice looking tractor and property.

Also, I believe that the loader and BH are both built by Amerequip.

Enjoy the new rig!

LOL! It didn't take you long to lose your SMV sign. I have the same issue with my XR3032H with backhoe. It didn't take me long to lose my SMV sign on my backhoe. In fact, I'm still looking for it.

There is another SMV bracket on my tractor just behind the backhoe seat. There may be one on your tractor too so you can at least move the sign for a while to keep up with it. I found mine a bit too late.

Hi Matt P, I broke my second left tie rod bracket on my xr4046. Mine has stop bolts on the left side but not the right side. Did they drill and tap and put bolts in for the right side steering? It would make sense to me to have the stops on both sides. Having stops on only one side would put twice the pressure on the tie rods. Thanks for your help, John

hey Matt P I see you are close to me I live in Athens. I couldnt get haney right on price so I had to goto Columbia Lynch tractor to buy mine. Its nice to hear haney does good with service. I will try to take mine there if needed.
