The dealer just got it in today. Turns out I was wrong on the hours. Its 140, not 240. Everything is like new. Couldn't get him to budge on the price, but he did throw in a rear wiper and some hats I put my deposit down and now it just has to get through service and the loan go through!

Congratulations !!! That is a NICE tractor.

I envy you the heated cab and all. I have turfs on my old Kubota, and they work well for snow removal. With chains, if you need them, it would be unstoppable. A lot cheaper to buy than tires, too.

Congratulations I think you got a good deal.:thumbsup:

Congratulations, that seems like a heck of a deal to me and it even has the HD bucket, I sure wish I could have found one like that.

Don't be surprised if initially you don't "get" the advantages of HST+, it took me a while to learn to use mine to full benefit, now I love it. I put bucket hooks on mine and they are very handy.

Congratulations!

Are you planning on keeping the front mount snowblower? I hope so, because I want to see some pics of that baby blowing snow this winter.

Maybe not for some, but I traded my L5030HSTC in on an L5740HSTC. My 5030 had three speeds, 5740 has six speeds, to me that alone is an advantage.

That's a clean looking tractor. It looks like the bucket has never seen dirt, snow maybe. I'll bet the person selling it was sorry to give it up.

Speak for yourself, I'd love to upgrade to HST+

I brought it home today! The blower/loader changeover isn't as bad as I thought. It doesn't have any paying work until tomorrow, so I had to play around today :dance1: The HST+ is awesome! Automatic dual speed makes loader work a lot faster and the response control is nice. It doesn't even notice a 6' disc behind it. I'm excited to try the loader out lifting logs tomorrow at work! Now to convince my fiance I need a camera that shoots HD video for snowblowing...
