Comparison Kubota L3400 DT vs Kubota L4310GST

[jmm46]

Just wondering what everyone else would do...what would you buy for mowing paths, tilling up gardens, light loader use on somewhat hilly terrian in SE Minnesota....a 2005 L3400DT with 608 hours on it with a L463 Quick attach Loader, good shape or a 2001 L4310GST with 1,400 hours with a loader, good shape as well...both are same price...is it a huge difference between the 35 hp vs the 43 hp?? also the rear tires are "thicker" on the 4310 vs the 3400 is that a huge difference in traction?? Also is the larger hp pto on the 4310 that much better than the 3400's hp??
Newer less hours vs older but higher hp??

Thanks for your input.

Welcome to TBN
Hold on the input is coming.
I have a 3400 and would go with it again. Does everything I need and then some.

Myself I would go with the newer less hour machine. If you are not going to be running full tilt attachments and can take your time the less horse power machine will still get the job done.
