Your experiences with the 46 back hoe
I am on the fence between green and orange and the apex is the back hoe since all other features I am looking at are nearly the same. I am looking at the JD 2720 and the Kubota B3030.
The specification differences between the back hoes are big, but, I am not as interested in specification as I am in performance.
The significant goal for my back hoe will be digging out tree stumps over the next few years, several hundred in fact, most trees are 2 to 3 feet in diameter. I am thinking I will see the biggest difference between the back hoe when breaking roots.
What do you think, is the 46 up to the task? Your experiences?
Outside of the shorter reach of the 46, is the 800 plus pounds of digging force missing from the 46 going to be noticeable?
Thanks
Bob
