My L3540 with Backhoe and front forks was finally delivered last night. I had two hours of seat time this morning and OH MY GOSH what a machine!! I really enjoyed my BX but this thing is just a completely different animal, I did more work pulling stumps in two hours with the new machine then I could have done in two days with the BX and the stability of the machine is much better then the BX. I am on a very steep property. I had the dealer widen the tires to 72 inches and fill them. Thanks to everyone for helping me make my decision.
