I'm not up to speed on the current prices but check kubota's website and go to "build my kubota". You will be able to get MSRP prices. Depending on dealer and area prices I would "guess" a 4,000 to 5,000 price difference, maybe a bit more. If you have the room to maneuver the L4400 around I would get it for more power and larger lift capacities and such.
Thanks Gerneral Lee, The price difference is around 6000, quite significant.
i do have space for the 4400, and down the road I will wish I had it.
The L3400 is 2000 more.
I also like that the 4400 has a 4 cylinder engine. But I reckon the 3 cylinders have a proven track record.

Lots of very dependable tractors have 3-cyl and some people prefer them.
I would be inclined to go with the size tractor you need and forgo the cost of an upgrade later, but that's just me.
Good luck in your shopping.

I was a gear man until I drove my first HST...
I guess it depends a bit on what you do most often but I would imagine for most compact tractor guys the HST is the way to go.

I would go with the largest unit that my budget could stand. I had a L2900 GST with a loader and backhoe, etc. And, it performed faithfully for 14 years. I knocked off a steel hydraulic line while mowing a field that I hadn't mowed for some years. I hit an old studded T post that was in the middle of the field for some reason. I don't remember putting it there! Anyway while I was in picking up the part at my dealer I noticed a L4400 4WD, HST, and looked at it, sat on it and made some engine noises. I should have know better. Anyway, I asked for a quote which was another mistake! I was all set to make the deal until I saw an MX5100 4WD, HST. I do considerable loader work and I thought why not try it. He brought it out with the loader and a heavy duty rollback bucket. I tried it and was hooked. I sold my faithful 2900 which was like losing an old friend, however, I needed the cash and the buyer paid what I was asking which usually means I didn't ask enough. Anyway, there is a learning curve to the HST, but once I figured it out the difference is astounding. I can move more dirt or whatever than I thought possible with a small tractor. If you can swing it go for the 4400. As Tim Allen always said, "more power". And, the larger the tractor the more weight which is also a factor. I don't think you can go wrong with a Kubota, they really hold their value.

Haggle with your dealer, he can give you a better price than that! Whether he will or not is another matter. Check with some other dealers in your area if you have them. I only paid a little more for the MX5100 4WD, HST, LA 844 loader, HD roundback bucket, R4 tires, Loader guide rod, rear work light. Unless you are paying sales tax which is included in the quote. Here in KY farm equipment is exempt from state sales tax.
