New LS XR4046HC

[lostcreekranch]

Finally decided that our Kubota B2710 HST was too small to do dirt work we need to do at the ranch and the New Holland TL100A was to big. Tractor too big, yes it happens.



After several months of emails, call, and visits with John Ryan, at RCO Tractor in Austin, we made a deal on a new LS XR4046HC tractor, Woods BB72X 6' rotary cutter, and Woods GSM84P rear grader.

Picked everything up right before Thanksgiving so had to take off time to do my TG cooking of pies, turkey, etc.







Tractor, cutter, and grader were longer than our GN Trailer so, made an early trip, Tuesday, with 12' BP trailer to pick up grader.





Between cooking tasks on TG dropped bucket from tractor and installed pallet forks to unload the Woods grader from BP trailer.



Then had to stop playing and get serious with TG dinner preparation. More later.

Nice tractor, do you still have your Kubota? It looks like you need to update your profile.

Thanks!

John Ryan at RCO Tractor found a buyer for me for the Kubota, Bush Hog 5' cutter, and Bush Hog 5' box blade and we sold it all for a very good price. This made buying the new tractor and equipment easy.

Hmmmmmm? Update profile or play with new toys? Hard decision. Will have to look into that. ;-)

Congrats, I really like mine. I have grading scraper envy!

I used mine for about 4 hours working on gravel driveways and found it to be way easier to learn to use than a box blade.

Wow !! I guess Santa comes early in TX. It must be tough each day deciding which piece of equipment you're going to use. Enjoy the new enablers and be safe.
Merry Christmas,
John

Thanks George. Now I can actually post on the "LS Pictures Only" thread.

Been looking at the LS Tractors for about a year now. John Ryan and RCO Tractors in Austin TX. made the decision easy. They provided great service before, during, and after the sale.

Thanks John;

It was actually an early BD present to myself. )

Now, decision is the tractor with cab or the tractor with the cab.
