The L2800 would be my choice but I guess it all boils down to what you are going to bei doing with it. If physical size is not a big deal I ould go with the 2800 just because you could do more with it.

Sounds fair. I recently gave 18,900.00 for a new L3400 HST w/ loader. Good Luck (probably could have done a little better had it not been for a trade in with purchase)

"Egon...Oh no, the little mule is going??"

It will be sad day indeed when piece of my heart place upon the flat bed,and I did try and convince the Mrs. we should hang on to the old girl...no dice.

We did check JD and I like control setup,but the dealer and I always had hard time seeing eye to eye over the decades.

I miss the little mule. If only it would have had power steering.

I'd really wanted a B7800 but the Green was what I thought I could almost afford.

" If only it would have had power steering."
I agree!!!
900 on meter almost 14 years...1 tire tube & 1 hose replace the old girl done everything I ask of her and more.

Sure like to find or who ever purchase the old girl gives her nice roof over her hood.

Mine had 3000 hours on it. It also had a few more repairs but most were type of usage related breakage things. Welds on the loader, a broken steering arm and a stick jammed into the hydro pedal linkage.

Dynamo, steering box, two seats and a bucket were the only real wear out parts for me. The bucket was sorta rebuilt with plate and new cutting edge.

The neighbour said I used it well!

Forgot the two wore out joystick controls.

My L2800 has been a great piece of equipment for the past two years. No complaints what so ever. Don't know what you have in mind to use it for but for a compact tractor which is reasonably priced I highly recommend it.
