Backhoe New Yanmar Backhoe Available?

[rtimgray]

I was just reading in Compact Equipment magazine that Yanmar is introducing a new CBL40 compact backhoe/loader. It claims almost 3,000 lifting with the loader, skid steer attachment mount, removable backhoe, 10' depth and 13' reach with the hoe, and digging force of 5,800 lbs.

I'm guessing that this will be available at the Yanmar Industrial/Construction Equipment dealers (there's an add for them on the back cover showing wheel loaders, mini-excavators, and dump carriers). Maybe this is one step closer to the re-emergence of Yanmar tractors in the US.

Ummmmmmm
Forgive me if I'm wrong...
But that looks an awful lot like a John Deere 110!
If you tweak the JD specs a bit they line up real well too!
A little rounding here and there LOL

Hmmmmmmmm

Do you think it is just a rebadged JD 110 as a Yanmar (i.e. JD returning the badging favor to Yanmar?). That would be kind of cool.

I believe so.
I went to the deere website and the yanmar website and compared pictures and specs.
Looks like the same animal to me.
Now the big question, which is cheaper?
