Which Back Hoe II

[crowlej]

Thanks for all of the responses on the 47 vs. the 48... sounds like I'd be a fool to get anything but a 48 (if I can afford it! No final price yet!). Since I will be trailering it a fair amount, one problem or consideration I have is weight of either unit... does any one have those numbers? Also is there anyone out there who has a 4300 with a 47 hoe??? if so how doe it work?

Thanks crowlej

47 is 1013 lb with 9" bucket
48 is 1517 lb with 12" bucket

Don't know about the performance of either as my 4700 w/ 48 hoe is due to be delivered soon.

Sniezur, Thanks for the info... by the way where did you find the weights? I asked a Dealer for the info and he couldn't come up with it! You don't know what the 430 Loader weighs, do you?
