When I was tractor shopping in April, 2003, I was going to get a
B2910 as I had rented one twice in 2002 and really liked it. The dealer I checked with did the pricing on one and then recommended the
L3130.
I went out to the yard and checked out the 3130. It really looked beefy compared to the
B2910. We went back in and crunched numbers and the
L3130 was only $1800 more than the 2910. I decided on the
L3130.
That evening I was going through the brochures and discovered that the
L3430 was the same tractor with three more horse. I didn't want to go bigger physically because I was worried my wife would be intimidated.
So I ended up with the
L3430 when I started out shopping for a
B2910! If I was to buy again, I think I would get the
L5030. My wife never gets to run the tractor anyway because I hog it. Plus she did fine on the
L3430 the one time she disked the garden.
Bigger IS better!
