3200 vs 3800??

I have an L3200 and have never run out of power.
5 hp isn't enough of a difference.

If you're used to typical tractors, 32HP in this size is more than adequate, which is how I would describe the power of my L3200 -- plenty adequate. Unfortunately, my previous tractor was an overpowered hot rod (smaller with 29HP), and I sometimes miss that extra oomph. Though that tractor would run out of traction long before it ran out of power. The L3200 also runs out of traction before power, but with less margin. If I knew I would miss the hot rod feel, I would have at least test drove an L3800. But for anyone used to typical tractors, the L3200 is probably just fine. Go back in time 15-20 years or more, and this size tractor typically had 24-25 HP.
I always 'error' in the side of too much Hp for my vehicles but I understand the point of traction and weight and extra Hp not helping. But still likes the horses!

Congrats. Hopefully the bugs are worked out of the 3700/3800 and did not make it into the 3901

Have not been on the computer in a week or so, just a update my Dad found a L3800 with 18 hours and now has it instead of the 3901.
