Covers concrete differences: hydraulic pump output (25 vs. 5 gpm), loader lift capacity (2,800 vs. 1,600 lbs), backhoe dig depth, PTO horsepower, transmission options, and rough pricing ($80K vs. mid-$40s). Useful for anyone deciding between the two.
Posted by the Kubota of Lynchburg dealer channel, so this is a sales-floor walkaround with a clear interest in moving inventory.
The L47 is a construction grade tractor loader backhoe with a 25 gpm hydraulic pump, 2,800 lb loader capacity and 33 PTO horsepower, while the L4802 is a farm tractor with a 5 gpm pump, 1,600 lb loader capacity and 39 PTO horsepower.
For a small property owner or farmer with 15 to 50 acres who needs to bush hog, run a loader, and move round bales, the L4802 is recommended over the construction grade L47.
The L47 is roughly $80,000 depending on options, while the L4802 with a backhoe is closer to the mid $40,000 range, about $20,000 to $30,000 less.
Yes, the L4802 can be ordered with a backhoe that has a 9 foot 2 inch dig depth, though it is less powerful than the L47 backhoe due to lower pump capacity.
