So I had someone offer me a premium for my 4700 and couldn't pass it up.....found a '14 L45 at a very good deal to the point I pocketed some cash in the end.
I haven't had time to use the tractor for more than about a hour but it seems like a solid machine with some slick hydrostatic features
These don't have that type of controls. Gas pedal and brake separate, reverse and forward on the column.. And as he will tell us, that machine will lift more in the bucket and certainly dig with the backhoe better than any Green machine of comparable size.. I should know I have the L39.. hoe reaches 15' and the fel can lift 2000 pounds to 12' The hydraulics are super fast too or totally micro, they are great machines even though they are orange...
When I bought mine it was basically identical to the JD yellow machines of the same size,, paint was about the only difference, price was about the same to; thousand a horsepower..
We have a M6800 that's a pretty basic machine but is doing what we bought it for. It's not fancy but with the exception of having no float function on one set of rear remotes, it's done well.
from dipper pin to full extended reach (std hoe) to tip of bucket teeth ~18' (can vary with bucket size)
loader full height to flat bottom of a level bucket 10'-10"
loader full height with loader bucket vertical to bucket edge 13'-2"
obviously the cats loader capacity is almost 2 times the cubbie
just putting # out there
wonder how he is likeing his cubbie?......i revisited this thread because i came accross a cubbie l4630 cab gst today that will the owner needs to sell and was thinking about floating him a offer and doing research
I really like the L45. It is much more industrial as compared to farm tractor. Thus far I have not found anything I do that I need a stronger FEL. With the hydro the wife is able to operate with me in the man lift. I would not trust her with a geared tractor, at least not without a whole lot of practice. The backhoe is strong and fast. It has a 24" bucket but handles it fine through I'd like a narrower bucket. The loader has an auto level feature that works really good with forks. The SSQA I like much better, seems to just work better.
