Only one problem with the Grand L. It absorbs money that could've been spent on a second L or small M.
Two simple tractors beat one that's loaded any day:
-one to do bigger jobs, one to do littler jobs
-one to load the wagon, the other to pull it
-one to disc, one to sow
-one to sow, one to cultipack
-one to shuttle wagons, one to bale
-one to get tractor things done while the other's on the backhoe
-one to get tractor things done while the other's getting serviced
-one to clear the brush after a storm while the other runs the generator
-one to put Mom or No. 1 Son to work, the other to keep you happy
-one to pull the other out of the muck
But the Grand L is really, really nice. Might get one someday myself....someday when I'm a decade or two older....someday when the open station gets too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer....someday when I'm not so d*mn happy about having two good tractors that I actually notice the cold and the heat.
Bet LBrown could add some to this post.
