B7800 or B3200?

"You can always find a used MMM, as they were a pretty popular option on that model."

I'll echo that. My dealer has four used ones to fit the B7800 series B3200, etc. That bothers me a bit since he doesn't have the tractors that go with them. Either the original owners liked, and used them, and the new buyers just wanted the tractor, or folks haven't been as excited about mmm's on that size tractor as they thought they would be...... just an observation. I'm dealing with the big C word so the drive over feature on the smaller B's would be a big deal for me, and I think I like the idea of a suspened deck better than one that rides on the ground. Of course I have damp places to mow, and that makes a difference for me.

Well within the next 24 hours I will be looking at a B3200 at the dealers show room. Without snow all over it like last week. I hope this will help narrow things down a little. I do like the overall design of the 3200 over the 7800.

Like others have indicated - if you do not plan on trading and are keeping it for a long time - and that is usually a big if - things change - go for the saving of some deeper difference in price on the B7800 and put it towards an implement. If the difference is not that much, go for the B3200 - integrated hydraulic leveler, newer loader design and of course upgraded lines, etc.. Let us know what you decided to do..
