OK, I started another thread about buying a B2920 a couple days ago. Now, after talking to several dealers I'm so confused.
OK, like I said, I currently have a Massey Ferg TO-35 and a 60" King Kutter tiller.
I spoke with one dealer this morning and he didn't have a B2920 but offered me a B3200 with FEL for $17,300. I thought this was a good price at the time.
I called Barlow's this morning and talked with Steve Barlow. He is basically insisting that I get an L2800 over the B2920 or the B3200. He priced me the L2800 for $16,900 with FEL.
Holy Cow! $400 less than above for a bigger tractor. Now, I'm so confused. I liked the B2920 for the compact size. I didn't go for the B3200 because of the increase in price (dealer priced it at 19,900 with FEL) and it's a little bigger with little gain in HP. Now, Barlow's is offering me the L2800 for LESS than the B2920 that I priced at my closest dealer! I know the L2800 is 2 less HP than the B3200 but from what I've read it's more capable especially with the FEL and my tiller. Is this correct?
What do you guys say? I have two concerns: 1. Parking (my shed is not that big, but big enough for my Massey Ferg) and 2. Turning radius in my garden (my Massey was really too big to turn like i wanted to but it worked). How big is the L2800 compared to the B3200? I sat on the B3200 and it was nice and not horribly big, but I didn't sit on an L2800. Thanks for your help!
