Hello, I have a L3000DT+FEL with 160 hrs (year 2001 or 2002?), wich works excelent to my needs (horse ranch), I have an offer of $16000 for it on next monday, if I sell it, I need another tractor as soon as possible (I live in Costa Rica, so I buy in the US and aprox. 2 weeks later is here). I saw another L3000 DT with 400hrs for $10500, an L2800 with 9 hrs for $15500, and an L3130GST with 126 hrs for $17900, all with FEL. This prices I can lower a bit maybe, and I have to add like $1500-$2000 for freights and taxes, etc.
My dilema:
L3000---> 27.5 / 32.1 HP ; 2425 lbs. Manual.
L2800---> 24 / 29 HP ; 2536 lbs. Manual
L3130---> 25.5 / 32.1 HP ; 3260 lbs. GST.
The weight/HP ratio of the L3000 has being more than adecuate for me, the L2800 w/HP is a little lower and the PTO HP is considerably lower, and the one that I would like, the L3130 GST, has about the same HP but weights almost 1000 lbs. more that the L3000. Do you guys think I will feel the difference in weight/HP operating the L3000 / L3130, more 'cause most of what I use the tractor for is pulling heavy trailers (manure and green grass).
And my idea for selling my beloved L3000 is for upgrading model year without spending much $$$.
Thanks.
