Thanks for offer, that's very kind. You clearly have a much better idea of your needs and thought it through and made the best choice for you and your property. I wish I'd taken a shorter path to my final destination, but sometimes you have to get it wrong in order to get it right.
That's awesome. Are you going to add insulation in addition to the Reflectix. I'm not familiar with that product but will check it out. I would like to do something similar to my tractors, both for cold and for heat. I was thinking that a cellulose based insulation would be a good choice.
From what I remember reading there is not a whole bunch of room so I think everyone uses the Reflectix.
You can make this comment over and over for each step up. At some point it's big enough
.Absoultely agree it's worth looking at both. But I don't think it's fair to expect that the MX is the right choice for 100% of buyers.
You're absolutely right. I kind of apologized to @NCL4701 for my presumptive comments. We all have our own wants, needs and ideas. It's good to get the chance to compare different models on the lot, to get a sense of the size differences, but we don't typically get to use them on our properties unless we buy them. Many of us will never know if a different sized tractor would be better for us until we make a change.Edit: Basically the same as NCL4701 said above...being in TN, it's not surprising we have similar topography and needs.....my original reply below as well.

I see your point but I'd suggest looking at it from another perspective -- the argument you make from the L4701 to MX is the same as one can make from the L3901 to the 4701. The extra 45% lift capacity for the 4701, extra weight, and bigger frame were totally worth it. Another step up would have been too much IMO. Could it work? Sure. Is the MX a good deal compared to the 4701? Absolutely. But it already feels tight in the trees - the extra width and length would make it even more difficult to turn around and work the grapple, mower, and rake in tight spaces.
And in truth, the width is a non-starter because the rear wheels are adjustable for width. It makes no difference to me what folks decide to buy, and it's a good thing that you're happy with the L, but I really don't see how an MX would be a problem for someone who likes and has an L.
Absoultely agree it's worth looking at both. But I don't think it's fair to expect that the MX is the right choice for 100% of buyers.
I just used mine for first time today…way better than digging by hand…followed behind with pitch fork and put in buckets.
I used mine to dig out 5 bushels, mostly Kennebacks. I had my top link at the shortest length; my thinking was to make it dig deeper and more aggressively. I didn't destroy too many. There will be some more ready next month.
Finally getting back to this. All I can say is, grease your loader pins!!
That’s my son. But yes, he heard the tractor start and the wife said he came running so he could see. Watched till I was done.
Thanks for the reminder, I've been sticking with the every 10 hour schedule. Looks like you had a hell of a time with that pin
My boy does that all day and also demands rides. He's getting big enough to where the seat belt won't buckle both of us in at the same time in the very near future.
I think this was previous owner neglect. Though, I have put about 75 hours on it.Thanks for the reminder, I've been sticking with the every 10 hour schedule. Looks like you had a hell of a time with that pin
