Just picked up a L345DT. Runs good. Paint failed from being outside. Slight amount of blow by. Starts cold on glow plugs. Unknown hours but seems to have been treated decent. Needs a seat. Needs ROPs. Would like a cover. I would love to hear from others about this tractor. I have a new home on 5 bare acres. The tractor will help put in a yard, install a fence, run a box scraper and run a brush hog. I like the size of this machine over some of the small 4x4's.

Thank you for the reply. I like that it's a midsize tractor. I have some box scraper work to do and like the bigger machine for breaking ground. I also have a pretty steep incline in the center of my property so the 4x4 will come in nice. These mid size tractors are getting hard to find at a good price. A small John Deere (20hp) just sold here for $9500 and it looked well used.

It looks pretty similar to my old 2550. I was offered $15000 for it. Needless to say they own it. It was a good old tractor that sure did a lot of work. I only had to change a water pump and a few hydraulic lines.
