L4400 & L2800 Price difference

[General Lee]

G. Lee did you get the HST with your 4400?

Yes, I got HST. Makes operation alot easier depending on the task. I will add I previously had a B3200 and traded up to the L4400. I'm one of those that, in my opinion got to small of a tractor at first. My 3200 did alot and is an awesome tractor, but I have future plans that will necessatate a larger tractor.

HST FOR SURE!

The L2800 will do all you ask of it, just don't ask it to run a baler or lift a heavy round bale

We have been amazed at how much work it has saved us. Our old Ford didn't have HST, power steering, or FEL. The industrial tires are nice too but traction is less so you will run in 4wd more if you get them. They are great on soft ground, though and give a smooth ride.

I have an L4300--nearly same as L4400--and it is light years different from the 2800 or 3400. I love the four cylinder ans its smoothness. It gets used with a 6 ft Mashio tiller and handles in real well. Pull a one shank sub-soiler 12-14" deep easily and does a lot of smaller things. I have ag tires for ag use, do not have a loader and when I trade up will get a hydro trans which is something I said i would never do. My vote is the bigger tractor.

For what it is worth, I bought an M4900 (45 PTO HP) thinking it was more than I needed. I wish I would have gone with something in the 70 HP range with 4WD. Just saying... If you can swing it financially, go bigger. Same thing goes for a shed or barn. You always need more space or HP.

Thanks for all the input.
I looked hard at the L3800 yesterday at my local dealer.
With the loader & 66" quick detach bucket it was $17900 total price.
A Woods bush hog 5 ft was $1650???

That is a decent price on the Woods mower, they are a quality product. Good luck with your new tractor and projects.
