B26 or l47

I have to change that. I did order the 4760 but then we bought a property that was smaller than I was expecting (thanks Inflation). So no room for a cabbed l4760.

I am confused.
Isn't an L47 TLB physically larger than a cabbed L4760 ?

Yes hence the concern about lawn. No open fields. Lots of landscaping needs prompted the decision to move toward a tlb.

Still confused!
It would seem that the L47 TLB would be harder on the lawn that the L4760.
The L47 TLB weighs 7,200 lbs.
the L4760 has to weigh much less than that.

ok.Yes I understand 4760 weighs less than l47tlb. I don’t want a cabbed tractor on small property doing landscape type stuff and I also don’t have the land for Pto driven implements. My focus is on tlbs and if the l47 is too heavy and too big for landscape type stuff around the house or to go with the b26.

I believe the backhoe on the TLBs (L47s) are bolted on. No quick removal to use the 3 point hitch.
I am new to tractors so please correct me if I am wrong.

As before, I do not have the L47 TLB, but do have it's slightly older, slightly larger brother, the L48 TLB.
I am absolutely certain that the L47 backhoe is easily detachable, as is mine on the L48 TLB.
Perhaps you have conflated the detachable issue between the BH and the loader.
My L48 loader is not detachable, and I believe that the L47 loader is the same.

Someone else may check in here to confirm.
Seems to me that you really need to actually look at an L47 TLB, before proceeding much further.

You are correct. I found a video of someone showing them removing the BH.

I think the L47 TLB is considered "construction equipment" (vs a farm tractor)
I found this video comparing the L47 to a L3901

I found a bunch of used L47's, L45's and L39's last week. Let me know if you want me to send them to you.
