XR4046HC

[RKJeepXJ]

My dealer told me a couple weeks ago, as I was purchasing my R4047H, that the CNH contract with LS ends in the next few months and CNH is going back with Shibaura for ALL their compact tractor manufacturing. It seems that LS coming to US and selling direct really put a thorn in CNH's side. BUT, LS is okay with that because they came to US directly because they felt they could move more product themselves instead of going thruogh CNH and their mark-up prices. I tend to agree with LS on this one, I priced a Boomer 50 with the same options as my 4047 and it was $6k more money, CNH has to be kidding to think that's going to get them any sales.

Yes, they do make them without cabs.

Folks on TBN are always stating that parts availability is slow on any brand other than major brand names, well My brother in law is waiting over 9 days and counting for a hydraulic oil filter housing attachment plate (ran a tree limb under the tractor and broke off the screw that the filter screws on to)on his 2009 New Holland Boomer. Hard to believe a limb was able to get there and break it since it is nearly impossible to get a wrench in to remove the banjo bolts holding all the lines on. It wouldn't be much problem without the FEL on but it looks like they didn't worry too much about servicing when they designed the FEL brackets.
With the number of folks reporting broken filter housings on TBN, I would think that a dealer would stock that plate for each of the CUT models or at least have one close by.
By the way this model wasn't made by LS.

I think and someone can correct me if I am wrong that other than the engine and some layout at and for the cab everything else is pretty much the same from last years model to the new year models. Of course they did change the hood some bit I think basically its the same tractor with some tweaks.

They have the specs on the loader listed as being max to full height at the pins 2,638lbs in one place, and 2,500lbs in another. The LL4102 and LL4101 should both be listed as 2,638lbs, but they're wrong in almost all of the places you look.

LS is making a nice tractor, but they could use a little help cleaning up details like that.

The backhoe should run around $6500 by itself, so that's not bad for a Tier 4 with cab.

I would think you want a 6' bucket. My TC 45 has a 6' bucket and it needs it to cover the tire footprint. I think the TC is pretty much the same tractor as you are talking about.
