Are you from Ohio or did you move there? Just curious I don't run into many other Murphys. Most of my dads side of the family are from southern West Virginia.

They're a pretty cool size machine really...I'm sure I could put one to work in no time at all, and my wife would probably be okay driving it (the bigger machines sort of intimidate her at this point).

We need pics!

The size is part of the reason I bought it. I think my wife and son won't be intimidated by it plus I just didn't really need anything bigger. I wanted something bigger but it really wasn't necessary. I need to now about 2 acres and bush about 3 acres. I have a small barn and will need it to clean some stalls. My dealer actually talked me out of the J2030. He said the the engine is exactly the same and that the 4 more horsepower comes from the injector pump. He told me to use it and when the warranty runs out if I want to we can change the pump and get the 4 extra horses. I tested them both and could not really see the difference. I may would see it when bush hogging high grass though. We had an old 8N when I was a kid and it did everything we needed. The Lil Blue Guy is about the same horsepower but its diesel ,4x4 and has a loader. I still think it will be a great choice. It really feels planted to the ground too. The loaded tires help.
Post pics soon

Nice tractor. I'd like to have one that size also, very handy for many tasks.

Congrats on the tractor!
Did you buy it from the Granite dealer? One of my buddies at work is thinking about an LS an an upgrade from the old 8N.

Question About your new LS. Does your tractor have a squealing noise coming from under the seat? As if there is a restriction. I only ask because I have the Boomer version of your tractor and I am trying to see if anyone else has this issue

I did buy it from the granite machinery. Its a real workhorse for the size! I've done a lot of work with it in a little amount of time! Its funny once you have a little tractor you wonder how you ever made it without one.
