He walks around his freshly purchased L4802 (bucket, PTO, rim guard, cruise control) and the Land Pride grapple, explaining why he chose a compact tractor over a skid steer for his firewood business and why 48hp suited his needs. Useful for buyers weighing tractor-vs-skid-steer, less so for spec depth or hands-on testing.
Posted by Tom's Firewood, a firewood-business owner sharing his personal purchase decision rather than an independent or dealer review.
A compact tractor fits smaller spots, weighs less, runs similar front attachments, and costs thirty to forty grand less than a skid steer, which suits his wood yard needs.
He wanted a tractor big enough to lift logs and dump IBC totes but not so big he needed a cab tractor, and felt 48 horsepower was the right spot.
It has a quick attach bucket, brush guard, four-wheel drive, rim guard on the rear tires, a PTO switch, cruise control, and a Land Pride grapple with a third function.
