l4400

N80 · Mar 27, 2006

Whichever model you get, go for the 4wd. As mentioned, these tractors are light and 4wd adds a lot to your traction and power. Anyone with a 4wd can confirm this, the difference between 2wd and 4wd is huge. If all you will be doing is mowing level ground, 4wd migh be overkill, but if you are on uneven terrain, use a FEL, I'd consider 4wd a must for these machines. 4wd will also keep your resale high.

I did a brief review of the L4400 here:

There are several L3400 reviews there as well.

I remain very fond of my L4400. I have been able to do things with it that I never expected to be able to do. My property has greatly benefited from this tractor's capabilities and I'm certain it has improved the value of my land as well.

Ditto on the L4400 endorsement. I have had mine about a year, and pull a 6' Rotary cutter through some gnarly stuff without a whimper. I almost did not get the 4WD since I had been used to a 2WD, but boy am I glad I got the 4WD. It is very nice when you run out of traction moving material with the FEL and you just move the lever to 4WD and keep on working.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Thanks for everyones help, are their any different tractors i should consider? I will use the tractor mostly for brush cutting, move a few dead trees laying around, feed hay that type of things, will use the loader to move firewood also. The dealer has a package deal l4400 4wd, 18 foot trailer, 6ft brush cutter, 6ft box blade, and loader, semi-shuttle trans. for 20,995, for me that may be over kill. )</font>
I have been pricing the L4400 with R4 tires and a loader at just under $20k. The deal you stated with cutter and trailer sounds even better. What dealer had this deal and where is he located? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
