Buying a new backhoe price aside which one? 410 K or L series JD or a Cat 420 F? And....go!
Since I haven't ran either, have ran newer cats and JD's I would pick the JD based off how the older models performed. They worked well as a loader and a hoe. While I felt the cat's loader felt awkward and visibility wasn't that great but the hoe was excellent. But I'm sure either is gonna be a good machine.
I don't think it really matters both are great brands. At that point play them against each other and see witch one gives a better deal. I personally will go with Deere.
Adding Case to the mix. Is a Case 590 Super = to or greater then a JD 410? I have a price for a JD, waiting for pricing for Cat but I have been told to go to a 430 F TC for comparison. Any thoughts?
Which dealership gives the best after-sales service..? It's not the buying it that will kill you, it's if it's down and you need it up.........
Going by your list of toys, I would stick with JD. And in my book bigger is better, 410L gets my vote.
