Comparison looking at L3240 2 wheel drive

[Martian]

teg , i am having alot of minor issues with the 2605, mainly the turnbuckle/chain style anti-sway, in my opinion it is poorly designed, and constanly bending pins and breaking links, and other issues that i realize are minor but makes me think the tractor is not going to be dependable for the long run, and crazyal i do run other equipment ( jd 110 tlb , cat 247 ) so i can get by with 2 wheel drive and use the others as backup but in reading all the replies i may attempt to sell the 2605 and look for good used 4 wheel drive. of course the 0% for 48 is inviting but not in position at this time to consider the higher priced tractor, thanks for all the input

What's your main uses for the 3240 then? If all you'll be doing is mowing, you won't miss anything with the 2x4, but if your doing any sort of ground engaging work, I'd really recommend the 4x4. As mentioned as well, one of the big selling points is the HST+ on the Grand L series and you will be missing out on it. Having both of those machines though, I'd see if you can get a good price on a 3240 with HST and 4x4

I don't believe I've ever seen an L3240 that wasn't 4x4 until this picture. That would be a special item - bet the dealer special ordered for something that fell through. Unless I knew I would never sell it, I would not buy a tractor in this class that wasn't 4WD.
