    Trailer Length For L48 TLB?

    Dealer  Local Dealer for Support or Out of State for Price

    O.K. I've chosen the L48. Now, I've been to several local dealers and got them to roughly the same price - and today I found out that a deaer from several states away will give me the tractor and many thousands of dollars worth of attachments for the price the local guys want for the tractor...
