Is a 110, L39, or L48 enough tractor?

The JD110 uses a Yanmar engine.... seems the only reason one wouldn't just go all Yanmar is the JD logo. I vote for the Yanmar, if I ever have the opportunity/need to upgrade/add.

the yanmar looks real nice. i run the B300 myself. it is a beast. i agree with all the posts by mchalkley on his earthforce. it is a heavy machine but lots of times that is an asset.
good luck,
metin

Hmmm.....I already have the air brake endorsement, I wonder if I should test the waters and call and see how they respond to my taking the test with my one ton pickup and a gooseneck......I can see where they would kinda frown on that BUT.....exactly like you said, if they say I need a Class A to operate it they better let me take the test in it. I have dirven the Mack Dozer Transport at work a few times, and drive a Class B 30kish lb truck on a regular basis with air brakes and 500 gallon water tank so I really wouldnt feel like I cheated the system taking the test with the one ton. But I also know if I dont feel safe and comfortable driving something I dont drive it so I wouldnt drive a REAL Class A type rig through the steets of San Francisco or anything similar to that.

Anyway thanks for the food for thought....

Wow that Yamar is pretty nice....I'll have to try and find a price on that also......Thanks for the heads up on that.....I had no idea they made something similar.....Tom

T get an airbrake endorsement, even if you're already a class A holder, you'll have to take the written test's air-brake section and at a minimum do the airbrake driving test. The only thing they might not make you take over again is the road skills test.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The Loader on this machine outclasses the Kubota L39 by 34%!)</font>

It should, it weighs ~34% more, too.

Yanmar’s model CBL40 Compact Backhoe Loader is powered by a 3 cylinder Tier II compliant 37.2 hp TURBO diesel. The backhoe digging depth is 10 feet with a backhoe reach of 13 feet two inches. The loader lift height with bucket dumped is seven feet three inches.

Yanmar designed the CBL40 with a heavy-duty durable frame like the larger machines and the CBL40 is built from the ground up for the professional customer seeking high performance in a compact, easy to transport unit. The main components (backhoe boom, arm and loader arm) are heavily reinforced for reliable operation. A hydro mechanical (HMT) transmission provides optimum efficient use of engine power. Importantly, the hydraulic system is the same used in Yanmar excavators thus providing a new system for backhoe operation. This gives the Yanmar CBL40 Backhoe Loader exceptionally smooth, precise and speedy control. Backhoe digging force is 5,800 pounds at the bucket and 3,600 pounds at the arm. A two pump system eliminates jerky backhoe motions for smooth simultaneous movements. A SSL quick style coupler like that found on Skid Steer Loaders speeds attachment changes.

The loader lifting capacity is 2,960 pounds with a breakout force of 4,375 pounds. The loader bucket is self levelling which makes it ideal for forklift operations and it too is equipped with a standard Quick Coupler.

If you like the IR machine, why not just get a JCB 212S ?

No grasshopper,

The CBL40 weighs a mere 550 lbs more than the L39 or about 200 lbs more than my L39 after my assorted beef -ups. It just has a stronger but slower loader with a bit narrower bucket than the L39.

The PTO on the Kubota is 5 more Hp.

CLB 40 is more loader orientated. I would be leary lifting 3,000 lbs to full height with that light of a machine without loaded rear tires. There are only 2 dealers in entire NE for Yanmar.

What does it cost? anyone?

L39Builder............crap I guess I need to just get over it, either brake down and get a Class A or risk it runnin a little over weight. Of course I know with a gooseneck trailer, foamed tires and attachments I will be more like 2k or 3k over which is not A LITTLE OVER.....and also if I caused an accident being overloaded.....well.....I would for one be devestated for any injuries/deaths I caused and for two I would lose everything I own......Man how do those RVers get away with it ALL the time???? I mean I see 3/4 ton trucks all the time pulling 32-38 foot 5ers with triple slides that HAVE GOT to be in the 14k neighborhood!!!! We have a 26 1/2 foot 5er with one slide out and it is 7k EMPTY!!!!!

WOW that JCB has 75 HP holy cow!!!! Wonder what those are pricing out at.....looks nice I guess.....Tom

Grasshopper, huh? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Thanks! My employees call me much less complimentary names. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif My mistake, I thought you were talking about the Ingersol Rand machine which weighs over 10,000 lbs.

Tom,

Good thinking. I only wish more people acted maturely like you and realized what's going on out there. With your attitude, you won't have any problems. Now as for the other 95% of the population....... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Getting your class A varies in difficulty from state to state and your personal situation. To me, it all comes down to one's access to a airbraked truck & big trailer. If you work for or own a company with big trucks, it's much easier than if you don't, since you can borrow them to practice driving and take the test.

The JCB is quite a machine, isn't it? My dealer let me use his for a day to try it out. It's essentially a smaller full sized backhoe with 4 tires all the same size.

I used it to build a retaining wall and some other projects on a large home I built. It was great for moving large quantities of dirt quickly. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's just me, but I don't every want to support ANYTHING that was made in England.

One ex-wife is more than enough.

Yes, that's right... one woman has cause me to enforce a strict personal ban on an entire country.

Now leave me alone as I go looking for some british-made things to smash up and add to my burn-pile.

Very angry, very very angry. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
