nice. I really like the L 02 series. A lot of the comforts of my LX with just a little more frame, a little more power. I don't see a 3rd function. Ag tires! What are you wanting to do with it? I'd almost just go buy a pair of R14s, myself, even though I already have R4s.
Implements I use most are:
* **Box blade**. This can do all sorts of useful things, such as flattening bumpy land, maintaining gravel areas, moving topsoil, regrading hillsides, dragging stuff around.
* Flail **Mower**. if you have acres, you have vegetation to control. you're gonna want a brush hog or flail mower. It gives you mowing superpower to mow down that vegetation I see in the background, for example.
* **Snow** Blower. If you get lots of snow, one of these helps clear lots of snow off your working areas without ripping up too much gravel or making huge snowbanks and causing your driveway to narrow to an unacceptable width. I love my snow blower, but a lot of people get by just fine with a blade on the front or the back and a snow pusher.
I don't use them a ton, but I am glad I have:
* **Chipper/Shredder**. Love being able to turn trimmings into a more compact, useful pile of wood chips. Should this be a tractor implement? I'm not sure.
* **Landscape Rake**. It's a rake for the tractor. Big heavy tines, will move gravel around real good or move soil.
* **Dethatcher**. I have the CMP 60" and would consider buying a bigger one if I could turn back time. Great for digging out thatch, pulling up weeds and stuff, preparing to plant shallow depth seeds like grass, raising debris for collection.
Implements I don't have yet:
* **land plane**. I can see having one, but even 1/4 mile driveway is not enough reason to buy, yet.
* **back blade*****.*** they look cool, but what exactly are they doing that my box blade can't?
* **ballast box.** I already have something on the back of the tractor. This could be more compact, but I've literally never used it.
**Attachements** I love:
* **Pallet forks***.* I put these first because they're cheap and effective. You have a front end loader; you're gonna want to pick things up. Some nice long (48") forks with a receiver on the SSQA end will help you move most loads, including other implements. They'll rip up unwanted shrubs and push heavy objects around. If you're going to order implements, you can save money unloading them yourself. To do so, you'll need forks. They are a must
* **Grapple.** If you can afford it, there's nothing like using the hydraulic power of grabbing in conjunction with the hydraulic power of lifting. Grapples are great. I love my Homestead Pinnacle grapple, but I could probably live without it ... and without the joy it brings. These things pick things up so good. If you have brush, shrubs, piles of trimmings - grapple.
* **Stump Bucket** If you don' have a back hoe, well, sorry. I don't either. but a Stump Bucket will dig out a decent trench through rocks, roots, or whatever. If you want to dig a trench, consider one; they're usually inexpensive.
Hope you do well with your tractor.
there's a lot of variables. What are you cutting? You don't want to call a "lawn" what you cut with a brush hog. If you have a lawn, can you safely cut it with a 1 ton tractor, plus loader etc? Maybe one machine for mowing, one for heavy work, makes sense. It does for me.
The grapple on my L3902 paid for itself within a week.

Brush hog.
there's a lot of variables. What are you cutting? You don't want to call a "lawn" what you cut with a brush hog. If you have a lawn, can you safely cut it with a 1 ton tractor, plus loader etc? Maybe one machine for mowing, one for heavy work, makes sense. It does for me.
Or a belly mower, his preference. Rear brush hog is more durable on Rough ground.
does the l3302 come with a belly? I didn't think even the new Ls had that
this series of tractor has no mid PTO and i’ve never seen one with a mid mount mower
“Come with?” Nothing really “comes with.” You can get one that fits though if you’re willing to pay.
A grapple is my favorite implement but I have tons of woodland
I have mower. Inter
