I got an L-3200 Kubota last year. Every hour on the tractor saved me four hours of manual labor, easily. Buy a loader, it is a must. In low range it will push an amazing amount of stuff. Work lights are awesome, I garage it in the winter and used it to move snow twice. Just using the bucket to clear the driveway and mailbox saved me 75% of the time I would have spent behind the snow blower and looked better.
I have not raked up a ton of hours in the last year, but every hour I spent on the tractor I got tons of stuff done that would have been impossible otherwise.
Load the tires, 4WD and I leave the box scraper or mower attached when I need extra weight in the rear. Kubota sips fuel and you can get a lot of work done with a few gallons of diesel.
You know it has always amazed me how much work I can get done with a gallon of diesel fuel. Sure the stuff cost a fair chunk of change, about $3.65 here now, but when I think of the tons of rock or dirt or logs or brush, or whatever I can do with it, that $3.65 seems mighty well spent.. Of course there is a lot more to owning a tractor, like paying for it, and insurance and maintenance etc, but the amount of work a small amount of fuel will do is still amazing to me.:thumbsup:
