Well the L4240 was ready last Friday but I had to wait for that darn storm to pass but I was able to get it yesterday.

L4240 Cab HST
854 Loader w/ SS quick attach
Forward auxillary
two rear auxillary's
And ofcourse the CD deck!! Haha

Already put it into action cleaning up from the storm, now to get some pictures and a grapple on it. I'm smiling ear to ear, wonder how long the new smell will last.. haha

Brahmus,
That is not a new Tractor smell, it is hurricane dispersed pine limbs. The new smell will be gone with the last pine needles and limbs.

Best,
ED

PS: You will like that quick connect bucket. Take a look at root rakes or grapples for clean up. I hardly ever use my bucket anymore.

No Pine trees down here!! haha

I am currently doing just that. At the very least a Grapple add on and a tooth bar.

Here is a great hurricane tracker -- Hurricane Tracker - - MSNBC.com

Looks like I may be getting another 6-8" of rain, like from Gustav.

After two days of drizzle, we ended up with less then an inch from Gustov.

Then yesterday a cold front went through and we received over 3 inches in about three hours. An inch of rain per hour is allot of water!!!!! My small pond flooded over, but it's designed for that so no problems there. MY big pond went up almost a foot from the runoff!!! I'm now just a few inches from overflow and it's just September.

We don't have a clue what Ike will do, nor do we trust the forecasters until it actually shows up. They seem to have been wrong on every hurricane so far this year!!!!!

Yep, that's a lot of rain, Eddie. We just had very light sprinkles nearly all day yesterday with a couple of light showers for a total of about 1.1" for the whole 24 hours.
