Hypernix - I have a 13" on mine and after very limited use this winter am thinking I should have gone with the 16". I'm trenching with it and there's plenty of power for ripping thru rocks & roots, I'm moving very little material with each scoop. But it sure beats a shovel or post hole digger!

I have the 9" and 13" buckets for my 46 hoe. For the cedar stumps we are taking out right now the 9" bucket works pretty good. I am glad that I also have the 13" bucket. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have the 13" bucket on my 46BH. I was talked out of the 9" bucket by the members here, and I'm glad I was. It means my trenches are slightly wider than I'd intended, but the 9" bucket doesn't have teeth and carries very little dirt. People also pointed out that the 9" will sometimes not release the dirt requiring you to get off the tractor with a pike and knock it out. Larger than the 13" and I would have had difficulty with the smaller stumps I spent the last summer removing. It turned out to be the perfect size for my purposes. If I was digging holes, I'd want a larger bucket. Your mileage may vary.

Oops, sorry. The picture the dealer showed me of the 9" had no teeth. He recommended the 13" and swapped it out for me without charging extra. I wonder if they changed the design somewhere along the way, or if there is more than one version of the 9" bucket?

I appreciate all the responses, they are helpful. To address some of the comments:

The 36 month 0% financing lead me to look at the 4115 and the size is right for what we need. One advantage of having no past tractor experience is at least we will not know what we are missing vs another model.

I did go back and re-price it on the JD site making sure to include all the items needed and the total list price comes to $27,197 vs the original calculation of $25,669.

At some point in the future we may use it for mowing so the lighter weight vs something like the 4210 is a consideration.

The trade-off on the price of the backhoe vs the cost of hiring someone to do the work is valid. The financing offer makes it a little easier to go for the backhoe. In the end I have to fall back on a higher authority, my wife said "What is the sense of getting a tractor if it doesn't have a backhoe?" How can I argue against that?

As far as bucket sizes, loader = 53", backhoe = 13".

I did get a quote from the dealer mentioned by JDFANATIC and they were $200 less. If the tractor needed warranty work at the dealership they would transport it no charge, other dealer would charge.

Thanks again for the responses.
