Paid $40,310 w/ thumb, shopped around several different places, thought it was a good deal but still a lot of money for a weekend warrior to spend on a tractor.

That is a very good price with thumb. My dealer is quoting $45k and thinks he is giving me a great bargain. I would jump at 40K!

Good choice, I have the L-45 and love it. It really is good setup. The one seat operation is so nice along with the creeping function being able to move forward and backwards when running the backhoe is no nice. Just an all around great rig, so happy I paid the extra money over the Grand L 3240 to get this. Anyways good luck with yours.

Funny, it was my wife that wanted me to get the new cab tractor. She got tired of seeing me out in the cold, wet snow for hours on end for the past 14 years.

Same here as well. I think there was motive here though because i think she ultimately wants to use the tractor.!

Great for you! My wife said she wished" I would up-date tractors last year".Even okayed a smaller new model, I wanted 5 more hp for the tiller.... She almost fell off the stool when i told her i had taken the dip for a used Kubota. Now I can feel the power..

my wife refuses to read the new operators manual. she has operated the old JD for 14 years. no problems.

But the new tractor is way more complicated. she started it the other day without letting the glow plugs cycle for the 8 seconds.....the thing sounded like she was beating it with a stick. i ran over and had a nice discussion with her about it.

bottom line is "she either reads the instructions or ....no tractor use" I'm not going to wreck a brand new tractor engine.
