Hi Jim,
Thanks for the response. Yes I did buy the L4300. Thanks for the heads up on temperature. I will be doing bush-hogging, plowing and disking with it. Won't be pulling disk and drag together as both are 3-pt. I've noticed my Fords get warm too when the radiators get loaded with chaff while bush-hogging. Something to watch for.
FWIW I'll post the prices paid here. Some kind of incentive program on the tractor and loader was in force to the end of Sept. so I acted a little sooner than I might've to take advantage of it. I'm no good at haggling so others could probably have done better. Have never bought from the dealer before, but he's sort of a personal friend from another area of interest....so didn't shop either.
L4300DT $12,930
LA682-1 Loader w/L2207-1 valve & L2234 66" bucket $3,665
L8408 & L8410 dual remote kit $885
Block heater $65
Load Rear Tires $250
The following is going on a separate invoice that I haven't signed yet:
Woods HBL72-2 6' rear blade $ 848
Woods BB720 6' Brush Bull $2,147
Herd M-96 3-pt, 3-bushel seeder $365
Horst GR48 Utility Grapple (to be welded on bucket) $1,025
Rossi BF-210 sickle bar mower $2,305
I may get an additional heavy duty bucket and have the grapple welded on that.
Would be more comfortable with a good 50hp AG tractor (M4900 or TT55), but wouldn't have been able to afford the implements with what they were going for. The unexpectedly low price (to me anyway) of the L4300 made a lot of other things possible.
