Received L4300DT Yesterday

[JimME]

I received my L4300DT from Goss Tractor yesterday. It's a beautiful rig and I already have a little over 2 hours of seat time on it. I found very little information from actual owners on this new tractor model so I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. The package consists of:

L4300DT with Ag tires
LB552 Loader with toothbar and chain hooks
Grille Guard
Filled rear tires
286 6' Bush Hog
ATH720 6' Bush Hog Finishing Mower
BX720 6' Bush Hog Box Blade

I'm not a Bush Hog fanatic, that's apparently the brand Goss stocks...

I've finished mowed with it, pulled some small trees out, uprooted a big bush with loader, pushed over a half dozen trees with loader inlcuding one fairly large dead oak.

So far I really like the L4300DT. It's the same engine and tires as the L4310DT. They saved some money on the loader and transmission. The transmission is a standard shift manual 8F x 2R. This is the same kind of tranny that's been in tractors for eons. No synchronization so you will on occasion get a little gear grinding when shifting but that's all I've ever used so I don't know any better. The transmission should be extremely reliable in the long run though... The loader has somewhat less capacity than the one on the L4310DT but I'd never know the difference. It seems very rugged and well built.

Happy tractoring...

p.s.- If I don't stop forgetting to disengage the parking brake I'm going to wear something out!!

Jim,

Congrats. That sounds like a working machine! Saw one at my dealer this past weekend and had a case of horsepower-lust.

Good luck with it.

What do you think of the ATH 720?

Who installed the chain hooks? You or the dealer??

 

[JimME]

I like it, it works well.

Goss Tractor in N. Georgia installed the hooks.

Is that the same tractor as an L4200 only newer ?
