What a tractor! I'm so happy with this machine I just need to find the time to get some personnel hours on her.

Congratulations, that is a really nice tractor, it took me a while to fully appreciate the features on the HST+ and was initially a bit skeptical, but I learned and it is great. The L4240 is a nice size tractor.

Nice machine, now go get her dirty!

That's really the best part....time to work.

Congrats on your new tractor.

TripleR, I have a new L3540 w/HST+ and was wondering what you meant by appreciate the features of the HST+? I am a newbie and am always looking for tips and pointers.

Thanks

Al

My previous tractor was an L5030 HSTC with just a standard 3peed HST which had done everything I needed and I just didn't see how an HSTC+ could be all that much better and more productive.

When I tried my L5740, it was set on auto throttle and I hadn't learned to set a minimum throttle setting, so it dropped lower than I liked when I let of the HST pedal, stall guard didn't engage as I thought it would, but the conditions weren't there to trigger it.

It wasn't until I had it on our farm for a while and learned how to use all of the functions that I really understood all of them and not only how they worked, but how they worked best for me in each situation.

Yep that's the video that I saw too. It takes that to get it, at least it did for me.
