How rugged is my L3240

[Kenneth in Texas]

cant speak for your model but my L2800 is one tough ase machine, I use it hard, digging, clearing my land, mowing, taking out small trees, driveways, all kinds of things. Have 400 hours on it now and its as tight and new feeling as the day i bought it new. It amazes me how such a small tractor can do the work i ask of it. I keep it well greased, fluids changed as the manual says and keep in in my shop when not in use.

Yeah I am jealous... just a little BX for me but would love a cab and a little more power but I have to say, even the little BX can do a bunch with some experience. I have always believed in putting in a little love and maintenance in your mechanical toys and they will last forever. I learned long ago that neglect is the culprit most of the time.

Put it this way, it will last you a lot longer than it will take you to sell it and get your second tractor, no matter how long that is


That's the beauty of tractors, some people cringe at the cost of our tractors, the same people that spend twice as much on nice cars, trucks, or boats that are worth half what our tractors are 5 years down the road.
