Price Check 4720H

Sorry, I haven't been on the computer. Mine has the BL25S also. It's been great. I've got about 7 hrs from one day and it only used 1/4 tank of fuel. I was digging up a bunch of small trees (schrub size) and it's flawless.

anyone seen a spec sheet on the BL25S loader yet? I have the chance to pick one up, but would like to see the actual specs prior to ordering.

thanks,

Haven't seen any specs on the new loader yet. I even emailed Amerequip, but didn't get a reply. The dealer called today to tell me the tractor is in, so I stopped by to take a look and get some pics. I like the new loader much better than the BL20S. It has better visibility, fender mounted joystick, third function, and it just looks nicer. Of course, it would be nice to know the specs before laying down the money. I noticed the label on the loader is 2500X instead of BL25S. Not sure if that has any significance.

It should be delivered next week. The dealer still has to swap the tires for loaded ags and install the rear remotes. He is trying for delivery Tuesday afternoon and it can't get here quick enough. I have renewed excitement and a lot of playing....err work.... to get done.

Got specs on the 2500x loader today.

is the 10 series listed in the .pdf actually the bl25s? those numbers lift dimensions look pretty close.

4200 lbs of break out? wowza, that is almost double what the bl10s is good for.

Don't know about the bl25s. I believe the 2500x is available on the hydro tractors (4720h and 3510h), maybe that's why they list the 10 series on the specs. I hear ya about the breakout force. It's about double the bl20s also.

I think I'm going to be happy with the loader, but there are a few minor things I would change:
1. I would like to have a rod type bucket level indicator.
2. The lift height is about 4 inches less than the bl20s.
3. In order to operate the third function you have to hold the button and then use the joystick to operate the 3rd function valve. I would like to have two buttons (one extends the cylinder and one retracts it).
4. I think metal hydraulic lines would be less prone to damage.

None of these things will likely cause an issue, but I like comparing options. Overall, I think it was worth the few extra bucks. Then again, I haven't used it yet so we will see.

That BL25S is definitely a pretty awesome loader and it's what I got on my hydro, I do like the rod for the bucket level indicator. The bucket is huge. This thing really needs the tires filled or some counterweight on the rear. The loader overpowers the rear weight pretty easily.
