New 5240 delivered yesterday

[wmonroe]

They delivered my 5240 yesterday afternoon. Had 1.8 hours when they backed it off the truck and is sitting at 3.6 as of now. Used the hoe/thumb to pull a few fence posts and leveled off a pile of topsoil but other than that didn't do too much, ran out of daylight. The power is fantastic, although haven't taken it over 2300 rpm yet so there is still some power left. It's raining all day today but supposed to be very nice this weekend so i'll be putting some hours on it.

Of course the obligatory pictures!

Congratulations Will! That is a glorious looking machine. Can't wait to hear your impressions after you get some mud on the tires :thumbsup:

Thanks for the pics.

Agreed, that really is a nice tractor and beautiful scenery.:thumbsup:

I have no real need for a back hoe, but when I see something like that, I want one.:licking:

What a jewel.

It is about as close to an all-in-one machine as you could possibly find.

There will be many, many hours of enjoyment with that for sure.

Great looking tractor!

Property is beautiful also! If you don't mind, how much property do you have? I have a little over 8 acres. Plenty to keep my L3400 busy.

I am sure you will use her with pride.

We have 17 acres total but the neighbor farms about 7 of that, so we maintain about 10 acres. Some day i would like to cut hay off that 7 acres and about 3 or 4 more but that is a couple years down the road.
