I'm looking to downsize, what do you suggest?

[ka41]

I currently have a 2009 L5240HST with LA854 loader and it only has 80-85 hours on it and in like new condition. I bought this thinking that I was going to be purchasing some extra land but the deal fell through. I really don't need a tractor this big as I only use it for occasional grading of my drive and a few other misc things. What I would like to find is a 35-40 hp kubota tractor/loader that I could trade for and have an extra $10k for the purchase of a corvette. The tractor doesn't have to have HST but at least GST. What would you all suggest?
Thanks.

I would sell it outright. I should compare well with a Tier 4 machine

You need to specify if you want to downsize in actual size or just hp and investment.

It doesn't really matter just as long as its around 35-40 hp. Mainly looking to free up some $.

Well I am a fan of the GL's so you could move down to a l3540 or cheaper yet the a l3800 or older version of the standard L's. L3400, L4400 or the likes.

Do you have any attachments you are planning on keeping? Do you want new or would a low hour used tractor be of interest to you? Do you think a B3030 (30 hp) tractor be too small for you, it would be my go to option for a used tractor to do thinks like grade roads and other odd jobs around the house.

I would look at the B7800, B3030, or L3130. The L3130 has everything as the one you have now and loader is just right for the tractor. Just no HST+.

I'm looking for a L series. I had a b3030 and its smaller than what I am looking for. I would like to find something 35-40 hp with a quick attach bucket.

Since you already have a grand L, I would look for a L3540 or L3940. Same featured that you now have but smaller.

Your tractor is just slightly larger than a L3800 or L3540. I don't think it is worth it to downsize. I had a Bobcat CT235, I can't tell that the L4240 is a larger tractor.
