I received my LK3054XS TLB at the end of the summer. I have dug out 25+ yards of soil for a retaining wall around my barn, I love it. the back hoe has so much power, and it is up tight to the tractor, not slung way out like the under-mount or three point type. the loader is very beefy too. I have yet to take the hoe off, to use the three point.
