    I missed this thread earlier...
    We upgraded our tractor in April. Got a really good trade in offer on the L3130 with 3k hrs on it, so we gotna L4802 with LA766 loader. We had them add 3rd function valve, rear remote, canopy and rear light.
    We already had forks and MTL grapple (flat bottom). I like it for moving logs and brush
    We later got the Catawba grapple, it's as wide as the tractor and does really well at clean up brush, pushing trees and picking up small pieces...it doesn't open as wide as the MTL, though... 20250822_114123.jpg 20250416_092157.jpg 20250908_091646.jpg

    That's how it works!! Congratulations.
    You'll soon wonder how you ever got by without it.:thumbs:
    Also for some reason I think you're better off with the kioti,
    Orange is a much better tractor color :handshake:

    Not really a firewood tractor but it was
    today.

    Cleaned up a bunch of rounds out of the grass & weeds. I ran out of wagon space. Hopefully I can get the rest split up before the grass grows back up.

    Pretty nice to not have to deal with creepy crawlly or slithering things, just scoop & dump.

    Wow, that's a sweet tractor. I'd be lost in that cab. Big load of wood too.

    It is my fathers chore tractor.

    It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to move it the first time I was in it & about another 5 minutes to figure out how to turn on/adjust the climate control system.

    There is definitely a learning curve with it, I don’t know what 3/4 of the buttons do.

    I was amazed that the mirrors are heated, power adjusted & telescoping.

    6155R,
    I about passed out when my brothers told me he bought it. He & my youngest brother always go to auctions to look at something & never bid on it & come home empty handed He got his hand in the air to bid on this one.
