Any Latest Info On Backhoes For JD CAB Tractors?

[JasonMac]

Has anyone else seen or heard of any of the latest news on the Backhoe Modifications for the JD Factory Cab Tractors? If any of the Dealers here have pics of the setup I would love to see it. I want this set up so bad.... I do know I can put a Woods Groundbreaker X on my machine as of now, but I am really interested in the JD448 Hoe....

I do not have a picture to show you but I can say they will be offering a 447/448 backhoe option for the cabbed tractors in 2008. It is in the JD product guide for the new releases but is microscopic so impossible for me to transcribe.

5525 cab maybe?

How about an updated modern curved boom hoe to replace the #46 on the 2320/2520? I think these are the only JD compacts without a curved boom design available (this is not counting the #7 on the now discontinued 790). Any news on this?

ill have to pick my dealers brain, ive debated back and forth over not having the cab on a 4000 series tractor just to get a backhoe, but i think i want the cab more than the hoe, if you guys say we can possibly get both in 08, thats awesome news!

still patiently waiting for the 55hp verison of the 110. of course with cab heat and AC. maybe a little more reach also. but still staying smaller than the 310. lol

Cabs are hard to beat, I love my 5525 cab. I use my 4720 open station a bunch for smaller projects. It is easier to see thing, maneuver, etc. I keep trying to talk myself into a backhoe. How much is one again...

I just got a new '8B' for my 970 tractor that is still the non curved boom so that's another of the old style still available.

I think theyre around 7k for the 4000 series. I just saw someone in my town got a new 5306 or something like that? its the 99hp tractor with the bigger front wheels and cab, its not a compact tractor at all though

There is a picture on the JD website. Check it out:

Looks like a 4x20 cab.

Man, I want one for my 4720. I can't seem to "justify" it quite yet.
