New to LS, looking for advice before buying

[Diggin It]

I don't. I can raise them up out of the way enough to get the BH on. Couple of shock cords help.

I'd imagine it would add $10K to the price though. My little one added about $5-6K

LS had some kind of promotion when I bought mine with the tractor and it added like 6k to the price. That was the same series LB2100.

Same here. Purchased at $5,500 plus assembly. $5,700 out the door. The subframe is the best way to go. Much easier hooking up and much easier on the machine. Only a few companies offer the sub-frame.
