The L3200 was my first tractor purchase also. I went with a LandPride RC as well. Seems to be a excellent tractor after almost a year of owning.
I absolutely love my L3200. It has 33 hours on it so far - about 1/2 mowing and 1/2 FEL scraping and moving dirt. It's a very comfortable and agile tractor and one thing that is really nice for me is how easy it is to get the loader on and off. Last evening I mowed at the neighbor lady's place and ours. Things have been more out of place here this year because of a "dirt relocation project". The Ford tractor, dirt scoop, extra RFM, homemade drag and some other stuff had crotch-high grass and weeds hiding them. After mowing the rest of the place I swung into the shed and put the loader on and grabbed a short chain. In about 5 minutes everything was out of the way so the tall growth could be knocked down. Around the other side was the Jeep that - uh - needs some work. Since it doesn't run at the moment I picked the rear end up with the FEL and rolled it back on its front wheels (played "wheelbarrow" with it) about 20' so I could mow there.
And so many prospective new tractor buyers come on and post "I don't think I need a Front End Loader" HA HA.. what good is a tractor without a FEL. Just an overgrown lawn mower or plow machine maybe. The FEL is just about the most useful thing ever invented.
