14psi for the rear and 26 for the front
i have a 4 wheel drive but i dont think that make any difference on tire pressures

because I got tired of rolling my fronts off the rim, I keep them at least 30.

If your L3200 has a loader mounted, you're going to want 35 psi in the fronts and not 26.

I've had front tire problems with my L3400 because of that, check either your loader manual or the tractor manual, there should be different specs for loader use.

With a full bucket of gravel or rock, the fronts are nearly flat with only 26 psi in them, and will tear up the sidewalls when turning, enough to seriously damage the structure of the tire.

I've had no problems with the second set of tires at 35-36 psi (maximum recommended pressure on tire sidewall).

Be careful when exceding the recommended air pressure especially when using a front end loader or you'll probably become your local tire dealers best customer.
On compact tractors the number one killer of the front tires is failure due to impact break in the casing from being over inflated so that it doesn't flex so bad, and the least little rock or hard bump and the tire will split wide open.
It will split in an "X" or "Y" pattern and is a dead give away for that classical failure.
I've stood right next to my cousin's Kubota when the tires folder over flat sideways and never hurt them at all at proper pressure.
