Hello! New member here looking for some help and advice on my first tractor purchase. I have been doing some research and looking for a month or so. I am not completely sold on the Kubota L3800 or L4600 but I am leaning hard toward one or the other. We have a local dealer that I really like about 10 minutes from my house.
I have looked at the new L3800 and L4600. Also open to buying used but the 0% financing is tough to beat. We are not rolling in money! Could spend it in cash but also have other financial obligations right now.
Here is what I will be doing....
Live in Southeast Ohio
We own about 40 acres. Someday to buy more
Tilling a 1/4 acre garden
Tilling 2 to 5 acres of food plots
Blading 1/4 mile driveway
Firewood
Bush hogging
Small landscape projects
Lifting hand hewn logs onto flat bed trailers(secondary projects)... Not very often
I can get the L3800 for just under $20,000 with loader (tax included)
I can get the L4600 for roughly $23,500(I think) with loader (tax included)
Don't want to overspend if its not needed
Don't want to go too small if 4600 is needed
Summary.....Money is tight but I will make it work. Do I need the 4600? Will I be happy with 3800?
Also, as I mentioned before I will buy used if it's the right deal but the 0% financing is nice.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate any input
