I'm looking at buying a backhoe for my 5055E tractor with its Power Beyond capability. It appears that there are 2 models to choose from: 48 and 485. I can't seem to find out about these models because they are not popular in these parts to stock and the Deere website doesn't have much at all.
Any advice/experience would be deeply appreciated.
I particularly want to know how each model is secured to the tractor: I want it VERY secure and I read on this forum how someone had a problem with this on his tractor axle? with the model 48 and that JD had changed the attachment system because of it.
Which is engineered better?
Is one hoe more durable than the other?
So I guess I could summarize the 3 areas of concern as Material, Design and especially the Connection.
