Jeff, I have a 30 Ferguson which was around 28 at the PTO new. So I just wanted to stay in that range. I would love to go with a 80HP but theres no need. I dont farm.70 ac, 20ac in fields rest woods. Just brushhog, blade the drive, drag logs for splitting , clear paths in the woods, food plots, then drag deer if I'm lucky, and joyride around the "estate". I was looking at the Mahindra 3616 but the hydro pedal was not comfortable. The dealer was great, gave me a good price, but he is only there a year so far. I know Mahindra has been around a long time, but. Looked at the LS,TYM, Kioti,NewHolland, the first 2 I just wasnt sure about the brands second 2 ,nice tractors, dealer did not want to deal. Kubota was Kubota. Both neighbors have them, friends that know more than I about tractors have Kubotas and like them. Dealer i bought from has 2 locations one 12 min east of me and 20 North of me and has been in business of tractors and/or machinery of some form since the late 1800's! The Kubota actually did not have as many bells and whistles as the 3616 or the LS,TYM or Kioti. Briefly, considered the
L3200.
L3800 was in my price range with more HP, Grands have more B and W but are higher priced. From the tractor I am coming from the
L3800 is a caddy! Loader specs are what they are , if it can move around a load of creek rock, which my neighbors 3130 does quite well, thats good for me. Hope I didnt confuse the issue. Andy
