The salesperson also walks through backhoe removal, frame design, transmission, tire options, and briefly operates the machine at idle. Best for shoppers actively cross-shopping this setup against a Kubota L47.
A dealership channel, the presenter is a salesperson at Orchard Hill Farm Equipment and closes by inviting viewers to request a quote, so expect a sales-oriented perspective throughout.
The 85B digs 133 inches deep versus 121 inches on the L47, and its bucket digging force is 5,676 lbs versus 5,825 lbs on the L47, very close overall.
Pull the big pins on both sides, tilt the backhoe to lay down, lift it off the frame pin, disconnect two hydraulic lines, then drive the tractor forward.
It is shuttle shift with an eight by eight transmission, eight forward speeds and reverse, plus one rear hydraulic port standard from the factory.
The tractor with loader weighs nearly 7,500 lbs, the backhoe adds about 2,000 lbs, and with air-filled tires the full setup is around 11,000 lbs.
