</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The bells & whistles of the Grand L series can make ownership and operation more pleasant, no doubt, but what I wanted was a workhorse. With the L4300, I think I got it. It's not so pretty, expensive or sophisticated that I'll be afraid to work it.

I've noticed, on this forum, that the consensus of the regulars is generally to go top-of-the-line. It's nice if you can afford it, but knowing what people successfully farm with around here convinced me it isn't necessary. Besides, among neighbors and family, I didn't want to become known as the one with the Yuppie tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Bob, I am much like you. I want a tractor to get the job done, and would rather spend money on hp and capabilities rather than frills.

I do not know if you are still looking here but.... I do have the L4430 HST. It is a great tractor. The HST is great, but the main reason i got that was so my wife would drive it if i needed her to. But since i got it i think it is the only was to go, it has cut my mowing time down a LOT, when going around tree, backing into areas, etc. But I am sure I would just be as happy with out the HST. If you are in the N TX area anytime soon e-mail me & you can drive & use it to see if yo like it.

I resemble that remark. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I wonder if THEY called the first farmer who traded in mules for a gasoline tractor a Yuppie. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

But seriously have you checked into all the difference in the models and not just the electronic dash? How many would you use on a daily basis? How many make the tractor easy to operate, therefore safer maybe? Just things to think about, it is a BIG investment. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I recently bought my L3130HST and got 3 remotes with it and I would recommend buying your remotes with your tractor. On my Grand L they took off the right rear wheel and fender to put the remotes on so it was all done as they set up the tractor. For my tractor the remotes were about $1100 for 2 and a little over $1300 for the 3 I got. I just bought the hydraulic top link so I now use all 3 remotes on my tractor. Having that hydraulic capability is great.

The skid steer quick attach is also a most useful option and I now have pallet forks and a grubber bucket also to use.
