I've got about 40 acres of wooded acreage that is loaded with bush honeysuckle. I mean thick. I want to get in there and take the woods back so my young kids can enjoy it. I'm trying to decide between the L3800 and L4600. I can get the 4600 for about 4000 more. The larger loader capacity would be helpful for cleaning up downed trees for stove burning. I also have 10 acres of abandoned reed canary grass that grows to about 6 feet that I want to mow/burn/treat out.
My biggest question is whether the smaller size of the 3800 makes it a better fit than the 4600. Obviously the larger size of the 4600 makes clearing honeysuckle and trails easier, but am I going to into a problem with too large a tractor in the woods? Food plots are also in my plans, but maintaining the woods and the abandoned pasture is the biggest need.
