I am about to purchase a R4041 \ 2012 in northern Ca. I started looking at the 39. But thought what the **** the pricing jump was not catastrophic between the 39 and the 41 and the power and size was more what I need, backhoe included.
I have a seven acre ranch in Vacaville, Ca. that I will be doing many projects to. I have animals also.
Large landscaping, pond digging, french drains, in-ground plumbing everywhere, road maintenance, fence posting and of course hay hogging.
Just moved in a couple of months back and was trying to do my field cutting with a high end G6000 sit-down mower.
That worked well until the landscape dried up and the mower started a mass fire, ( the belt drive friction lit the fines in the belt drive tunnel) no one hurt no major damage thank God.
Lesson learned.
I am convinced I need a real tractor. So the question is R4041 or the R4047? Both seem to have the same equipment, horsepower is more on the 47 no doubt.
I have been shopping for a while and the LS brand "Bang for Buck" sure seems real nice. I fab dirttrack chasis for a hobby so I feel I am somewhat familiar with how things should go together. The dealership is large and has a good service department and are friendly.
I am just thinking that if I am going to purchase the 41 I might as well spend a little more and go for the 47, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks all
