What is a reasonable price to pay for a JD46 backhoe? With 16" bucket. Thanks for the info.

If I recall correctly, I paid $5300 one year ago. I installed it myself, and I have a 13" bucket.
Edit: This included 6% tax, but did not include power beyond.

Deere also says you should have the tall folding ROPS for use with the 46.

At least that was true on the previous models (4110,4115). This may not be true anymore with the 2520.

I decided not to get the taller ROPS( figured I could get it later if I cracked my head:rolleyes: !) I am 6' 1" 230 lbs, and I haven't had any problems. Jason

Sorry to sound like a dumbass but what is power beyond? And how much more does it cost?

PowerBeyond is the hydraulics that power the hoe, it should be about $220ish or so...

I'm not sure that they reccommend the tall ROPS because you might hit your head while you're working the hoe, as much as when you roll the tractor while you're working the hoe. To make the saftey space for the person in the hoe seat, I think you need the taller ROPS -- especially if you're tall.

So you need power beyond in order to install the 46backhoe?

If I ordered a 2520 with 46 backhoe installed does that mean they will install the power beyond?

Yes.

It has to be there for the hoe to work. I'm sure they will itemize it on the bill.
