Growing up and on into my adult years, I operated a MF 165. A 60s model that was just a tad older than me. Once I bought my own little ranch I used an L2800 that came with the property.
I came to realize two things. Three actually. 1. I’m getting older and the heat takes more out of me. 2. The l2800 is adequate, but has no loader so it’s really just a lawn mower. And 3. I needed a loader and something capable of moving downed trees and hay bales so I don’t have to do it all by hand anymore.
Today I splurged and took delivery of a new MX5400 with a cab. I spent an hour just piddling with the grapple. I do not think I regret writing that check one bit.
