New Member, new (old) tractor.

Hello everyone, have to admit to lurking for a long time before I decided to purchase an older L5240. 992 hours, HST, and loader. Part of the decision was of course price, due to the age, but the hours were ~low and it was pre-emissions.
Posts here really helped me focus in on what I thought I needed and what to look for and avoid.
Will be using this at my mountain cabin for road maintenance, and cleaning up all of the down timber and brush.

First items will be a 3rd function kit for a Grapple. Suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome Capbuster!

I have a "few" Rem #10 & #11's ... If your username means what I think it does!

I hunt almost exclusively with Muzzleloaders, Caplocks, now.... trying to avoid the 'pumpkin patch' I see during the rifle seasons! I also have a Flintlock, but there IS a reason they have the nickname Flinchlock.... I have respect for our forefathers that shot at British troops with those!
