He says he is only burning 3 cords of wood a year and has a short 400' driveway. I think a B3200 would be sufficient for that and it it better for driving across his yard. I think a B3200 is the perfect size for him.

Kcender,
I thank you for sharing your ideas from your experience. I did not know that the L3240 had a mid mount PTO. I take a look at the spec and price on this tractor.

The mid PTO is an option on the L3240.Mine didn't have it as I had no need for it.I am not sure how much extra they are but it is my understanding that it is a fairly easy installation.
I own a B3200/LA504 with R4s for taking care of 80 acres of mostly rocky wooded hilly recreational/hunting property on the western side of Arkansas. With the right attachments and implements the B3200 is plenty capable for all the OP needs. The lighter weight will be a plus when the ground is soft. A heavy box blade extended back with the Pat's easy change system balances the machine very well for loader or grapple work.
Not yet found that I wished I had bought a larger more expensive L series. Nothing wrong with that as a choice, just not one I saw the need for.
The money I saved helped pay for rear remotes, TnT, power beyond, WR Long Grapple, Pat's easy change system, tandem disc, Kubota Quick Coupler, Ratchet Rake and Piranha tooth bar. Some of that would have had to wait if I had spent the extra on an L; glad I don't have to wait.
