Buy new (L3302) or used (2009 L5240)?

As the owner of a Grand L,buy that L5240 before some one else does,it will go fast.Had mine for 12 years(L4240HSTC) and a friend has the same (L4740 HSTC).
The loader is powerfull,and the tractor nimble.Can't beat a cab for snow removal.

Unless the L5240 is just too big (won't fit through gates or you need to get under trees, etc.), this is a NO-BRAINER. Buy the cab tractor.

I bought mine with no remotes too. I ordered them the next day and installed them myself. There's no comparison between the Grand L cab tractor and the other unit.

Lack of remotes might be one of the reasons that it's available. Take advantage of it.

Don't fool around with trying to split your hydraulics, etc. In the long run, you can't beat the OEM setup and you won't save much either.
