LS MT3 52HC
Just signed for a MT353HC. Added a heavy duty 48" grapple bucket with 3rd function and a LS 2 blade road grader. Super pumped to get this thing. I've been maintaining my place for 7 years with a Yanmar 2420D, so quite a step up to do some real work.

Just ordered a radio (Jensen), speakers (Pyle) and phone holder for the cab that I will install. Plan on adding a titan tooth bar to the bucket and a ratchet rake to the mix.

Anything else y'all recommend for small accessories that I might "need"?

It was on the dealers lot. I went in thinking I was going to buy a XR4145. I was able to test out a XR4140, XR4145, XR4150 and the MT353. The MT3, was about 8% more out the door vs the 4140.

Seemed like a no brainer for the extra HP, Cat 2 hitch and other features. They are will start prepping it on Monday and will be delivered next week.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

I don't know what else to recommend as I have no idea as to where you are or what you're going to use your rig for.

Enjoy the site.

Nice tractor! Welcome to TBN

If you haven't already compared, Many people recommend the EA toothbar as one of the best .

Congratulations! That is a step up!
The Titan tooth bar is exactly what I have. Works very well.

If you have a lot of viney type growth, low to the ground, a ratchet rake might be a good idea.
I have had one for three years......still in the box!
Tooth bar is a good idea!

I ended up getting a dealer installed tooth bar for the bucket, so cross that one off the list. I also purchased a good grease gun and half a dozen tubes of grease. Surprised at how many zirks there are on the tractor. Took delivery of it today and very happy:)
