Hello, I'm new to this forum, have been looking and reading on here for a couple weeks now. I am looking into purchasing my first tractor and these are the two I'm looking at right now. I've narrowed it down to Kubota just with the dealer near me and they seem to be tried and tested.
The L3800 would be a brand new tractor, out the door with FEL, box blade and rotary cutter I'm looking at 23k. its looking like i'll have about 5k to put down on that so financing 18k.
The L3240 I found on Craigslist last night is a 2010 model for 13,900. It has 1100 hours on it, but the guy said that it is in great shape and clean machine.
I will be mostly using the tractor on 5 acres clearing off land, grading a horse arena, mowing and really anything. Given these two tractors which one would you choose and why? Just reading on here it seems like the L3240 is a really nice machine and I'm really liking the price on it, but also worried about the weight of it as far as grading the arena. Not sure though, like I said this would be my first tractor purchase and I'm really completely a newbie when it comes to tractors.
Thanks for any replys
