Doc, I have a 1 month old LS 3033 with FEL and Backhoe.I sold my Allis D-14 and International 3514 backhoe to help pay for it.It's nice to have something new and not have to coax old machines to co-operate when I want to do something.
Been there done that. I used to have a Ford 8N. Neat little tractor but when I had things to do I would spend more time working on the tractor than seat time. I sold it and got a new Grand L 3010 w/ FEL and it has served me well.
