B3200 or L3200

[LD1]

What are peoples opinions on the type of transmission, hydro or gear.

I really wouldnt ask that question if I were you. It will just turn this thread into a heated debate. There is NO right answer as to which is better. The question is what do YOU prefer. Kinda like asking if you should get a standard or automatic when buying a new car.

As to the B3200 vs L3200, the specs may seem similar on paper but the L is quite a bit beefier machine. You really need to lay eyes on them and test them out.

Here is a good pictorial comparing the two side x side. Well...it is actually comparing the B3300 and L3700. The new L3200 will have the newer styling and rounded hood, so ignore that aspect of the pics.

Those are excellent pictures for comparison. Just one comment though is if the L had ag tires the size perception would be even closer to being the same size.
If I was doing it again and know now I would have bought the L instead of the B. Better value for the money IMHO.:thumbsup:

So I'm really leaning towards the L3200 Hydro, thanks for your input.

I recently bought an L3200 HST, and apart from the jerky 3ph, it has been a perfect tractor for me. The 3ph hasn't been that big a deal hooking up a bush hog.

I know this is older, but in doing my research on the l3200, the hydro is the way to go, due to the fact that the 3200 gear does not have a live pto. Just my 2 cents!

Live PTO on the L3800 gear, so no need to get HST unless ya just want it.

I decided to go with a L3200 hydro. Should be picking it up towards the end of the week. Thanks for all the input
