LOL! Yes that seems to happen here quite a bit. Both are great tractors, both available with a cab. Grand L has some very nice features you won't find on the MX such as the HST Plus. I also think it has a better ergonomic layout of the loader and rear remote controls - a bit more luxury if a...

I'd keep the L4760 and trade the BX for a zero turn. I'm not sure how much you have to mow, but a zero turn generally does it better.

She's 12. She wears herself out trying to follow my wife around. :)

We're in a similar situation except this isn't our primary residence but rather a weekend place so getting it done quickly was less important than saving some money. We have 44 acres with a building site right off the road. This is what our building site looked like when we bought the land...

I have the QH15 on my L3560 and it works well. I like the adjustable top link. I need to use the adjustable top link it to pick up my WoodMaxx chipper vs my Land Pride box blade and rotary cutter.

I agree, bigger is better for what you're suggesting. I know what I'm going to suggest is pure blasphemy to some, but if costs are an issue, consider dropping the backhoe from your shopping list. Just plan to rent a mini excavator for the few times you'll need to do big backhoe digging. It'll...

"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" We named our property Port Tack Farm because in sailing when you're on port tack, you're the burdened or give way boat, in essence sailing against the grain. Having a boat shop on a farm in...

I really have know idea on fuel consumption. Most of our use of the Ranger is just running around he property, often 100-200 yds. at a time. We've owned it since 2021 and I think we have a total of 60 miles on it. As to boats, we have several small sailboats (Sunfish, Highlander, MC Scow...

We have a Polaris Ranger 1000. We use it mostly around our acreage. A few trails and lots of yard chores, etc. Depending on your expected use, speed, or the potential for speed, can be overrated. The only time our UTV get's above 8 mph is when I decide I need to stretch it's legs a bit just...

Sounds like you pulled the trigger on your deal already, Congratulations. If you plan to use the box blade for much, you might want to consider moving to a heavier duty one. The BB1272 is okay, but fairly light duty. Just a thought and suggestion. Of course if you don't plan use it much...

Congrats on the new tractor and on sticking firmly to your budget! Not an expert in any way, but I suspect most of the implements your son runs on his 3902 will work just fine on your new tractor.

Congrats on the tractor. Nicely optioned.

Wnen someone on this forum suggests you might be thinking about way more tractor than you need, I'd listen. We all like spending someone else's money so most suggestions are bigger tractor / more power. In this situation, I think @Elliott in GA is offering good advice. The compromise...

I'd be really careful. Loader or no loader, there is a reason it's priced so cheaply and at least 90% of those possible reasons aren't good for you.

If you don't add ballast beyond loaded tires, you probably won't even be able to use full lifting capacity of the LA805. I have the L3560 with loaded tires and the LA805 and I need the box blade on the back to get full lifting capacity.
