HEAVY-DUTY REAR AXLE
The heavy-duty rear axle incorporates planetary final drives
to handle heavy torque loads, and uses multiple wet-disc brakes
for extended life and smooth stopping performance.
|
|
|
FEATHER STEP™ HST
The “Feather Step” HST ease of operation is due to the
hydraulic servo that gives you improved control by reducing the
amount of pedal pressure needed to depress the HST pedal. Forward
and reverse movements are easy when using the loader. And, regardless
of the load, you will not experience sudden pedal pressure changes.
Operation is smooth even when making sudden stops or directional
changes as well. |
 |
 |
|
INTEGRATED MAIN FRAME
Using a pillow-block supported integral main frame that has been
reinforced, it absorbs twisting loads during backhoe operation and
will not transmit flex to the tractor chassis. This makes the structural
integrity of the L48 uncompromisingly sound, giving you a firmer
ride and a structurally solid vehicle that will do its job and do
it with ease. |
|
ENGINE
The L48 has a 48 horsepower (gross) E-TVCS diesel engine which
meets EPA emissions regulations and also uses special internal balancers
for low-noise levels and low vibration. The powerful and tenacious
engine starts quickly and is environmentally friendly as well. |

HARD-NOSE SLANTED HOOD AND FRONT
GUARD
Gain an unobstructed view of what lies ahead, thanks to the
hard-nose slanted hood. The loader bucket is easy to see in
the down position and the front-grill guard helps to protect
the hood and engine components from any type of impact. |
|
|
CONCEALED MUFFLER WITH SPARK ARRESTER
No large, obstructing exhaust stack to impair your forward vision.
We’ve tucked it away, so all you see is the work area ahead
of you. In addition, a spark arrester is standard allowing for work
in areas requiring this feature. |
 |
 |
|
|
4WD
Standard with this feature-packed tractor is 4WD, giving
you greater pulling power as well as less slippage. This provides
you with virtually unstoppable performance even in difficult
conditions and varying terrain. This feature is especially
helpful during loader operations. |
|
|
FRONT LOADER
With an enormous lifting capacity of 2540lbs. (1150kg) and a maximum
height of 9.7 feet (2950mm) to the pivot pins, the front loader
can tackle just about any job with ease. |

|
JOYSTICK CONTROL
Using only the single joystick lever, you easily control
multiple functions such as raising or lowering the boom, bucket
dump, bucket rollback, or even combining the functions to
increase productivity. Also, we’ve designed into our
performance matched system a regenerative circuit that allows
for faster dump cycles. |
|
|
AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC SELF-LEVELING SYSTEM
An exclusive feature for this class of tractor. By simply moving
the joystick to the “Up” or “Down” position,
the bucket angle is automatically kept the same at any angle as
the boom is raised or lowered, thanks to the self-leveling valve.
This minimizes spillage prior to dumping and makes the loader easier
to operate. It’s very useful especially when using pallet forks. |
 |
 |
|
|
MAXIMUM ROLLBACK/DUMP ANGLES
Rotation achieved from the 4-bar linkage system reaches 45
degrees of rollback and dump angles. These angles mean you
can fill and dump buckets full of material easier and faster,
maximizing productivity. |
|
|
METAL BUSHING
Replaceable bushings are incorporated into the design and are strategically
located at the pivot points to allow you to economically replace
and maintain a like-new fit. |

SKID STEER-TYPE QUICK HITCH
This cost-effective option is offered to give you the convenience
of rapid attachment change-over using basic tools you may
already own. |
|
|
BACKHOE
With a digging depth of 11.1 feet (2 ft. flat bottom), it’s
able to handle an expanded variety of jobs efficiently. A dedicated
pump for the boom swing makes for smooth, precise, and controlled
operation. Still, more versatility is provided by the 4-point backhoe
quick-mount system which expands the L48’s capabilities and
allows you to maximize the return on your investment. |
 |
 |
|
|
REVERSIBLE SEAT
The seat reverses on the spot, so you can operate the backhoe
with simplicity. A convenient walk-through platform eliminates
climbing over the seat or dismounting the tractor. Now, just
reverse the seat, step in, and you’re ready to work.
It’s that easy. Plus, the seat is designed to rotate
15 degrees to the right, providing the best position when
using rear implements such as our Top-N-Tilt System with a
box scraper. |
|
|
20° ANGLE OF DEPARTURE
High ground clearance provides a generous angle of departure. This
allows the L48 to load quickly and easily onto a trailer and will
help prevent you from damaging curbs while moving from job to job. |
 |
 |
|

|
STARTER SWITCH
The new location of the starter switch makes it easy to start
the engine while in the backhoe operating position. No need
to reach around and fumble for the standard switch either.
We've put it right next to you. |
|
|
MULTIPLE PUMP SYSTEM
The swing-raise-lower functions, a new feature on the L48, can
be performed simultaneously thanks to the dedicated swing pump.
Precise and smooth positioning is easily accomplished using the
inching spool. |
 |
 |
|
|
PTO
The live, continuous-running, 540-rpm PTO expands the use
of this tractor to include rear mounted PTO driven implements
such as rotary tillers, post hole diggers, snow blowers and
rear mount mowers, just to name a few. |
|
|
QUICK-MOUNT ATTACH/DETACH
Featuring a four-point mount, quick attach system, the backhoe
can be removed and installed easily. |
 |

|
DRAW BAR (optional flat-bar type)
This allows you to attach a trailer to the L48 to shuttle
cargo to and from work sites. |
|
|
CATEGORY I, 3-POINT HITCH
The lifting force of the CAT. I, 3-point hitch is 3,310lbs (1,500kg)
24 inches behind the lift points, allowing you to use a wide variety
of implements. The responsive position control lever ensures accurate
and smooth 3-point positioning and includes cushion relief protection. |
