Trying to make up my mind whether to go with the L4400 or spend 3500+ more and get either the 3940 or 4240.
Only reason I'd do it is if I could substantially increase the volume of the bucket (meaning cuft capacity) and get a round back bucket that's not available on the 4400.
Can't find any literature on the bucket volumes for the 4400.
Volume on the "square back bucket" for the 3940 is 8.8 ft3 and on the 4240 is 10.9. Basically 2 ft3 difference..... don't know if that is significant.
Wondering how the 4400 compares.
Also wondering if there are different buckets available for the 3 models.
I only plan on lifting red sand clay, so I don't think lift capacity is that big of a deal.
Wondering if maybe I could/should consider an aftermarket bucket that would work for my purposes better (more volume/more digging ability, etc)
Yes, I know there are other considerations as well, but it's a dollars thing for me now.
