Looked at a L5240 yesterday

Sounds like draft control is mostly useful when operating a bottom plow. I think I will pass on that as it sounds like something that could be added later.

Well the deal is done! Now I just have to wait till every thing comes in. Pictures will be posted as soon as I get it. Thank you to everyone for the help in making my choice.

Local dealer worked with me some on the original price he gave me, we got it to where i was happy. This waiting is killing me and it's only been 24 hours now.

I know the feeling, and I just bought used, problem was it was 1800 miles away, took a week to find a shipper, a half a week for them to pick it up and another week for it traveling on the truck, luckily it'll be home tomorrow.

How long is it supposed to be?

Dealer is saying up to 3-4 weeks but i guess if the loader and backhoe are available in warehouses and don't have to come from the factory it might be sooner.

Hopefully you can start enjoying the new ride a little earlier!:thumbsup:

Does anyone know where the loaders and backhoes are made? Talked to the dealer today and everything is in except for the loader and hoe and he expects them to ship Monday or Tuesday. Just wondering if they are coming from Japan or here in the states. This last week has gone by very slowly!

 

[wmonroe]

Talked to the dealer on Friday and he said the loader and hoe should be in Monday or Tuesday. They'll probably take a day to assemble it and i should get delivery on Thursday or Friday. I have the camera charged and ready so there should be pictures at the end of the week.
