I am looking at a used JD 4410 and I was hoping someone had some first hand experience using a 447 backhoe on a similar tractor. I have the option of swapping out the 447 for the 448 but there is additional cost and I'm trying to decide if I really need it. Pulling stumps is about the most demanding task I have. most are about 20" but a few would be 24-26". Has anyone with a 447 tried using it on stumps like this and if so can you give me your feedback?<br>
<br>
My concerns about going with the 448 are 1) additional cost but 2) I've read several stories about the 448 damaging the tractor because it is too powerful. Between these two issues I'd prefer not to go with the 448 unless I really need it.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the input!<br>
