Pulled the trigger - L3200 HST with FEL and Landpride Cutter

Make sure you add cruise control to it.

In answer to the question does the tiller cover my tire tracks, haven't noticed any problems either way, as tiller is pulled by tractor. But on looking at spec sheet, it said tractor is 53.7 inches wide, and I have rear tire spacers, which should make mine around 56 inches wide. I was thinking about how to use the tiller in combination with my other tools, to make a garden efficient, and plan on tilling a swath, and skipping a swath, to allow me to have two planted rows, and then a path thru the garden to drive thru with the Big Red, to make it easy to work and harvest. I love the way the tiller works the soil, and plan on tilling once, then using the FEL to mound up two row of compost that I have been saving up and turning over for the last eight years, then re-till hoping that will help mound up the two rows, then finsh off by hand. By having only two rows, back to back, and large areas to work them from on either side, hope to be able to work, and harvest really easy. I know this method will take up more space, but will be worth it.

If you don't mind, what did the L3200 run you? I'm looking at it as well for my 18 acres.

Did this replace the L2800?

I was just over $20K having added 3 rear remotes, cruise and the FEL. However, you may be hard pressed to find one if you don't move immediately. They have ceased production of these tractors and are switching to the follow on models which will be tier 4 emissions compliant.

Yes, quite a few years ago. And in fact is no longer being produced. It is being replaced by a new model that is tier 4 emissions compliant.
