I hope this works out to your satisfaction...

But man, all I can think is...
... A Grand L3650 with cab for 2 acres!

Leaves me speechless...

Pittsburgh!!!

I attended an automotive and Diesel school there in the early 80’s. I talked badly of the town as an 18 to 20 year old.

10 years later, after much more life experience I realized how fortunate I was to have experienced one of the cities hit hardest by the export of steel and hard core manufacturing in the northeast during that time and into the 90’s. I tasted, but did not experience its culture in cuisine and art until many years later, but that is the way life unfolds.

Pittsburgh rebuilt it’s culture to some degree and is, from what I’ve been told, a beautiful place to live.

Are you in the “Outdoors with the Morgans” crowd out there?
I did update my post to reflect that I do have 3 properties that I own and manage, requiring the use of the tractor fit many many things, not just a single property situation. That’s why my first purchase was a trailer to haul it around.

You know, I have always been pretty frugal when it came to purchasing “things”.

I have experienced purchasing fixer-uppers for lots of equipment and took heed to folks here and in other venues saying that buying used buys you more effort for less money, while the opposite is also true.

I was very very close to buying a used L3940 with 2400 hours after watching vids and reading comments from “Waxman” who originally bought his L3940 new and did some amazing mods to it.

In the end, after a short deliberation I realized I’ve got way too much work to do to toss $25,000 at a used piece of equipment and then spending another $20k to make it mine (backhoe at $10k), and maybe $10k in possible required repairs over the foreseeable future.

So, at $45,000 I was so close to buying new…. Which I ultimately did.

First iteration was an open station, and again at the last minute realizing that moving snow at -15 degrees would not be as easy, or satisfying as my experience of doing so with my Fisher plow attached to the truck!!

Hence the L3560 HSTC with Cab.

Nothing is ever as it seems in these posts. There usually isn’t the breadth of verbiage to communicate everything - so what we are left with are snippets of factual events that dont necessarily tell the whole story. I suppose it’s better than nothing though!

Thanks so much for your feedback!
