New XR4046 HC on the way!

rmiller4292 · Feb 6, 2015

Long time lurker here....After moving to our new home that is on 33 acres, I finally had the need for a tractor. I've been renting for a few months and feel so rushed to get stuff done, and looking the cost to rent 2x a month to shred in the summer, I decided it was time. Having been a Deere fan for a long time, I initially wanted to go that route. After much research..including on this very forum, I decided to give LS a look. After talking to John Ryan at RCO tractor in Austin, I was sold. For the price, I felt that I could get much more tractor with LS than I could possibly hope to afford elsewhere. The stories of great tractors and warranty support when needed really helped me make my decision. I signed the paperwork today and will take delivery of my new XR4046HC on Sunday! I got a package with the tractor, loader and shredder. The pallet forks that are on in the photo will be replaced with my bucket...I'm super excited about getting this thing to work!

What is the max height with r4 tires? Only see ag tire max height in brochure

Congrats on the tractor and welcome.
I've had mine a year and like it very much.

:welcome: You'll enjoy it.

Max height is the same as with the ag tires. The R-4 tires have a different tred patern and are wider.

She's here and has already been a huge help around the place!

I could not possibly be happier with my experience with John and Alex Ryan at RCO Tractor...professional operation all the way! On my initial visit, I spent about 2-3 hours there visiting and asking questions about all kinds of stuff and they were very accommodating. They really care about their customers and it shows!

Congrats and welcome to the LS club, good decision on purchase. I know I enjoy my therapy every time I am in the operators seat.

You will really find the XR4046 to be a great tractor and the support from John, Alex, and Sam after the sale is outstanding. We picked up our XR4046HC at RCO just before Thanksgiving last year.

I am curious if you kept the Delta Hook QA that was installed in pictures in the RCO shop. I am sold on the versatility of Delta Hook. This is my second set. Sold original set with our Kubota B2710.

You will be very happy with pallets forks also. Use mine all the time.

Congrats on this beautiful machine. A friend of mine replaced his old case1130 with this tractor.

Rick, I did not keep the delta hook...Honestly we didn't talk much about it. John said it was a little pricey and I had a budget to be mindful of. I've been very satisfied with the relationship that I have developed with John and Alex. I kind of wish I had asked about the Delta Hook now...but I am thinking about a finish mower, and might see about getting the delta hook at that point. I've had a ton of questions already and John has been awesome with the quick helpful replies...The pallet forks have been a HUGE bonus and I am glad that I got them.

Just an update, I've been working with the tractor a lot! It showed up with 7.5 hours and I'm a little over 22 now. I went by RCO and picked up my supplies for my 50 hour service so I would have them on hand. Here are some pics I've taken while using my new favorite piece of equipment.
